Hi Ravi,

The "Spring application context has not been set" is a generic error that can have a number of different causes. Most often though, we see this caused by the user running Confluence not having full access to the directory.

I recommend running through the troubleshooting steps listed on Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set, which cover the most common solutions for this error.

Thanks!
