java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set

bitminder

I'm trying to install a fresh Confluence Server on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2016 Enterprise (Database is in 2014 mode). The service runs as Local System.

The issue occurs when installing the database. The wizard successfully creates some talbes, but stucks with the error message shown blow. Restarting the service won't do anything.

I've found other posts with them same error message, but most people only refered to file system permission issues. To test this I even gave "Everyone" full permissions (read+write+execute+...).

This is the full stacktrace:

I hope you guys can give me a helping hand.

Found the problem

The problem were neighter Confluence nor SQL Server. From the beginning I used Microsofts IIS as SSL Proxy. I don't know the reason why but IIS resetted the connection during the database setup. This caused an incomplete setup.

Without IIS the setup worked without any problem.

Sometimes when I've seen these "Spring Application context" errors, it's either been a permissions issue but since you tried that,

Try deleting the plugin cache:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-clear-confluence-plugins-cache-297664846.html

Also this doc has a lot of other things to look at:

Hi Josh,

thanks for the quick response.

I followed the suggested steps but it's still failing after the database setup.

At first I deleted the plugin cache folders (except bundled-plugins_language, it didn't exist) and restarted the confluence service. The error hasn't changed after this.

Then I did a full reinstall of confluence. I ensured that program and home folders no longer exist.

The last time I installed confluence, I followed some steps regarding editing configuration files and the database driver for SQL Server (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-a-sql-server-datasource-in-apache-tomcat-218269283.html). This time I didn't do these changes and the databse initialization was again successful. Is it even recommended to do the changes in this documentation?

The rest was the same except the program folder. I created a database following the tutorial on https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-sql-server-9258.html, installed the program and home files on a seperate drive (D:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence and \confluence-data).

After the confluence installation wizard finished setting up the tables, I received a 502 error from my proxy, the response was malformed.

I did a refresh of the page and then received this error:

HTTP Status 500 - com.atlassian.spring.container.ComponentNotFoundException: Failed to find component: Error creating bean with name 'i18NBean' defined in class path resource [i18NContext.xml]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.atlassian.confluence.util.i18n.I18NBean]: Factory method 'getI18NBean' threw exception; nested exception is java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tenantedTransactionManager' defined in class path resource [databaseSubsystemContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tenantedLocalSessionFactoryBean5' defined in class path resource [productionDatabaseContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: premature SessionFactory initialisation, Hibernate properties have not yet been persisted in confluence.cfg.xml

After a service restart I'm back at the original error of this post.

Is there any solution for this problem, Hello Atlassian, why it is solved, when there is no solution for that ?????

Hi Nedeljko,

I understand you are installing Confluence and getting the error: "Spring Application context has not been set" in the browser.

For this thread, it turned out that the accepted answer was that a reverse proxy (IIS) reset the connection during the database setup step. When the customer installed Confluence without the proxy, it worked for them.

The conditions in your environment may be different. The "Spring Application context has not been set" error can be generated several ways. The most common cause is file system permission issues but there are other possible causes. For a complete list, along with resolutions, please see Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set

If you continue to see the error after ruling out the causes on the knowledge base article, please let us know more about your environment:

What OS are you using?
Are you using an installer or an archive to install Confluence?
What database management system are you using? (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL?)

I look forward to hearing whether the knowledge base article helps or more about the issue if it persists.

Regards,

Ann
