Confluence Dashboard Won't Load after Failed Import

[Deleted user]

I am building a new server to migrate our existing Confluence and Service Desk instances too. I had a working Confluence instance and then attempted to import a backup from the existing dev box. The import failed and then Confluence failed. I have uninstalled/reinstalled and removed and recreated the database. I'm still getting the same error. The error message is at the end.

This question Confluence returns system error due to 'Invocation of method 'isShowSignUp' in class com.atlassian.confluence.user.actions.LoginAction threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at /login.vm' Seems to be the same but it doesn't solve this problem.
