Confluence server will not start after I increased partition

Ken Ducey

I have confluence and jira installed on the same server.  I ran low on disk spaced, and increased the partition.

After rebooting, jira worked without an issue, but confluence will not load, and gives me an error:

"Your database Storage Engine could not be determined"

The atlassian-confluence log says:

2020-12-03 12:21:45,608 ERROR [http-nio-8090-exec-7] [[Standalone].[localhost].[/].[action]] log Servlet.service() for servlet [action] threw exception
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: com.atlassian.confluence.tenant.VacantException: Confluence is vacant, a call to tenanted [public abstract org.hibernate.Session org.hibernate.SessionFactory.getCurrentSession() throws org.hibernate.HibernateException] is not allowed.
at java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.encodeThrowable(CompletableFuture.java:273)

How can I check if confluence and jira are using the same DB?

What could be the issue?

That's odd, I wouldn't expect that from a "run out of space" case unless you were installing, not just running.

Start with a look at <confluence home>/confluence.cfg.xml - that has the database connection in it. 

Then check the logs in <confluence home>/logs - the error message with "storage engine" should be repeated in there, but with a lot more information
