Confluence, slow and many startup errors

Peter_ffy6aw

Hello,

I am running 5.3.4, and when the app starts, I have errors such as these:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContext

at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)

at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2531)

at java.lang.Class.privateGetPublicMethods(Class.java:2651)

at java.lang.Class.getMethods(Class.java:1467)

Which should prevent it from working I would expect, and these:

There were other errors such as JSP compilation or other problems, with Soy ...

I have not gone too far into this, should I try a re-install ?

Thanks,

Peter

Hey Peter,

Could you confirm which Apache Tomcat version you are using?

Also, have a look on the following link to be sure that you are running your instance with the right java, tomcat and database versions: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF53/Supported+Platforms

Hi Peter,

I believe that the Soy renderer might be having some problems as we can see in this KB.

The Kb is not the same behaviour but it's similar. I recommend to check the KB and try to reset the plugins to default as well.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Hi Eduardo,

Java version is 1.7.0_51 and it is running on Tomcat 7. I have Jira running without issue on the same server. MySQL is the latest version as well ... so thinking it is solely a Confluence issue -- you tell me.

Hey Peter,

I see. Well, Tomcat 7 is not supported for your current Confluence version, so I'd recommend you to downgrade your Tomcat to version 6.

The following answer thread is related to a similar issue, with very similar error messages you are facing: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/66628/weird-classnotfoundexception-during-startup-of-osgi-bundles

He was running Tomcat 7 with a Confluence version that did not support Tomcat 7. When he downgraded to Tomcat 6 the error messages stopped.

Please, let me know if it fixes your issue as well.

Best regards,

Eduardo's suggestion above fixed all issues - thanks for your help.

Eduardo,

Great suggestion - put it on Tomcat 6 and no issues, faster and no errors !

Now ... what is the easiest way to upgrade to the latest version ?
