Hi Volker,

Unfortunately there isn't enough information to figure out the exact issue you're running into with Confluence. However, a common issue that users face is Confluence not having write access to the Confluence Home folder.

Have a look at this KB article that explains common problems and resolutions you might face when starting up Confluence - https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html

Hi Daniel, It is ok.

It turned out that my background postgres DB was not properly configured. After cleanup and reinstall with correct postgres DB everything worked fine.

Thanks for your effort!

Volker
