I'm trying to install Confluence on a Mac OS Server with the standalone version - did the same with JIRA and it worked just fine.
However, with Confluence my console outputs
Server startup logs are located in /Users/ched/Documents/Atlassian/confluence/confluence-5.6.5/logs/catalina.out

The logs in the file "catalina.out" state

Initially I had the JRE installed instead of the JDK, so I was getting errors. I now installed the JDK 1.8.0_25. Can anyone please help me out?
