Hi All,

I have just installed Confluence using MySQL as the back end on a Win 7 Ultimate box. I think I am missing something or something is not installed quite right as pages are very minimal with no drop down menus etc.

e.g. on example space what I assum is the 'Tools' menu has a list of actions below it as shown below - its exactly like this btw:

Tools V

Attachments (1)
Page History
Restrictions
Favourite
Watch
Stop Watching
Manage Watchers
Page Information
Link to this Page…
View in Hierarchy
View Source
View Storage Format
Export to PDF
Export to Word
Import Word Document
Copy
Move
Remove

I also noted this error on one page:

Error formatting macro: recently-updated-dashboard: com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.template.TemplateRenderingException: Unable to compile Soy template in plugin module: confluence.macros.dashboard:dashboard-macros-resources

Many thanks for any help you can give me as I am at complete loss right now.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the response. I did create a support ticket in the end however when I was about to flush the plugin cache I noticed that the machine only had 9Gb available on its c drive!! So I re-sized this to over a 100Gb and not surprisingly things started to work properly!!!

I am not sure how the system managed only to render part of the screen and sort of function with the lack of disk space... regardless increasing the space resolved the problem without the need to flush the cache. Sorry for the false alarm.

Sounds like it could be a more serious problem: I wouldn't know until you posted the full logs. If necessary: I'd recommend creating a full support ticket.

In any case- you might want to try clearing your plugin cache.
