Spring Application context has not been set on a running installation

Question

Hi, We have been running Confluence for around three years now. However last night it went down with the following error message: HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set I have been trying to fix this issue all day, but am unable to get it running. All user permissions are set correctly, and it was running fine until yesterday. I have been to this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html but not been able to solve the problem. It seems to be mostly occuring to new installations of confluence, and I really cannot lose the data I have on my current installation through a reinstallation. Does anyone have any suggestions that could solve the issue? confluence.cfg.xml: complete custom 7400 false false false XXXX ${confluenceHome}/attachments XXXX 1 100 60 0 20 30 org.postgresql.Driver 2

Yes, I solved my problem. The server had filled all storage capacity, meaning it couldn't write any data to the disc. This problem is related to write access for confluence, so double check that!
