The CSS is messed up and incorrect styling after installation

[Fluccs Australia]

Hello Team,

I have installed a Fresh Confluence(Confluence 6.15.7) in our server and it was successful. I have selected the option to load sample data( During load content stage > Example site) during installation and from there onwards the styling got messed up and the options are loading without any CSS styling.  I am able to login and click on the options and they all are working, However the styling is messed up.  Please see the snapshot attached.

Please check the details and fix it.

URL: http://confluence.myownserver.net:8090 or http://118.88.24.134:8090

Also, How can we make it accessible over the URL: http://confluence.myownserver.net

Regards,

Nick

On your first problem, your installation is messed up. Most commonly confluence user don't have write permission on home directory.

Refer to this documentation - https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html

On your second problem,

you will need to register subdomain `confluence.myownserver.net` and then use reverse proxy server like Apache HTTPD or Nginx to setup virtual host for your server.

Here is reference documentation to guide you - https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html

Fix the second one first - the css problem not being read can be caused by the client not being able to fetch the css from the server, which can be a proxy problem.

I most often see this when I've messed up the reverse-proxy settings in Apache.
