I recently just finished installing confluence w/ mysql. I populated the server with the demo site. When It got to the part of connecting with JIRA to pull the users. I noticed JIRA was not running correctly. I restarted JIRA w/ root. It turned on and worked fine. When I went back to the confluence tab to continue the process. I got an error (SEE BELOW). I tried restart confluence and it would not start and keep getting the same error.
I tried resolving it with the following suggestions: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Confluence+Does+Not+Start+Due+to+%27Spring+Application+context+has+not+been+set%27+in+Linux
It still does not work as the confluence users has both read and write. I also tried starting it up with the confluence user and STILL DOES NOT TURN ON.
