Do not run Confluence as root, and ensure that the user running Confluence has full read and write access to the home folder. This can be set by running chmod -R with the appropriate permissions, to apply them recursively to each sub folder. An example of the right permissions would be:
chown -R confluence.confluence <confluence-install-folder>
chown -R confluence.confluence <confluence-home-folder>
chmod -R u=rwx,go-rwx <confluence-install-folder>
chmod -R u=rwx,go-rwx <confluence-home-folder>
This is the error that presents:
