Confluence fails to run

Cryptomathic

Hello,

I have i selfthosted Confluence server running on a Windows Server 2019.

I run the server on CMD.

For some reason the server restarted, and now the Confluence server fails to start correctly.

When i try to start the Confluence server, i am met with the following error:

17-Jan-2020 10:33:10.113 INFO [http-nio-8090-exec-6] org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.service Error parsing HTTP request header

changed the setting to "Allow connections from other computers", but it did not improve the situation. The Confluence server still fails with the same error message as above - any ideas?

Sounds like you have some kind of typo in a config file. Maybe server.xml.

Hi Dave thanks for your reply.

I have been looking at our Conf files including server.xml, and cant seem to find any issues.

The strange thing is that Confluence has been up and running, but after Windows restarted during a update, Confluence now fails to start.

The installed updated was the two shown below.

2020-01-20 10_57_57-management - Remote Desktop Connection Manager v2.7.png

Is it possible that these could cause issues?

I think you're barking up the wrong tree looking at Windows updates. Are you running a supported version of Java? How are you defining which Java will run? Maybe download Confluence fresh from Atlassian and drop in the unedited server.xml and see if it starts.

Confluence only reads most of its config files as it starts up. In the case you describe, it probably means it started up ok last time, then someone edited a config file and inserted an error of some form which it is only seeing now you're trying to start it again.
