Particular page editing not working

Question

When I try to edit few particular pages on confluence it throwing messages as "Loading the editor's taking longer than usual. Give it a few moments, then refresh your page if it still doesn't load. Speak to your Confluence admin if that doesn't fix it." But if I copy that page into a new page and try to edit, then it working fine.

On the confluence-init.properties the setting is as below :

confluence.home = /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence

Also on the log4j.properties file it didnt mention any specific location for log files, even though atlassian-confluence.log file updating properly, but not the atlassian-synchrony.log

[root@ip-X-X-X-X logs]# ll

The only ideas I have about the log are:

1. We are looking at the wrong logs directory.

* To make sure that's not it, check <confluence-installation>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties, look for the confluence.home setting in that file, then find the logs in the Confluence home directory.

2. The logging location has been changed in the log4j file as described in: Changing the destination of the log files

I look forward to hearing what you find.

Hi Ann,

We didnt upgrade it recently. Our confluence version is 6.0.2 . But actually we started this issue after a small network outage, still I am not sure whether I can co-relate this issue with that. Because the reported pages were not accessed during that time. Seems those files editing somehow got corrupted. As I mentioned earlier, its happening only very few pages and if I copy those pages and try to edit its working fine.

In between that, do you have any thought why our atlassian-synchrony.log is not updating, even though all synchrony status showing good.
