Thanks Rodrigo.

In my case that did not seem to help and since my maintenance window was almost over, I had to fall back to confluence 5.1.

Hi Bill,

This is actually a known issue and we have a KB for that.

The workaround would be:

* Backup Confluence
* Shutdown Confluence
* Execute this SQL query

1

DELETEFROMCONFVERSION;

* Restart Confluence

I hope this helps!
