After upgrade from 5.10 to 6.10, HTTP Status 404

[James Liu]

I have upgraded confluence following this instruction: Upgrading Confluence Manually

1. Stop Confluence.
     
2. Extract (unzip) the files to a new directory
     

3. Edit  <New-Installation-Directory>\confluence\WEB-INF\classes\confluence-init.properties file to point to your existing Confluence home directory: /home/confluence/atlassian-confluence-6.10.0/data
     

4. Copy jdbc driver jar file from your existing Confluence installation directory to confluence/WEB-INF/lib in your new installation directory. 
5. Start confluence: <New-Installation-Directory>\bin\startup.sh

Result :( HTTP Status 404 – Not Found

How to debug and fix it?

Hey

Can you try start-confluence.sh instead.

Also verify that file ownership belongs to dedicated account confluence is running with and you are using the same account to execute startup script.

Catalina.out log should give some clues too as to why it's failing to start. If it failed past tomcat, check atlassian-confluence.log

Thanks.

I have fixed it. The user privilege is wrong.
