Confluence (self-hosted) fails to start

Pascal Crausaz

Following an update to macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Beta (17C60c) my local instance of Confluence fails to start this morning. I was running running Confluence 6.2.3 so I tried to update to Confluence 6.5.0, but I get the same error:

06-Nov-2017 08:00:35.807 INFO [localhost-startStop-2] org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.initServletBean FrameworkServlet 'dispatcher': initialization completed in 1126 ms06-Nov-2017 08:00:41.591 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal One or more Filters failed to start. Full details will be found in the appropriate container log file06-Nov-2017 08:00:41.591 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal Context [] startup failed due to previous errors06-Nov-2017 08:00:41.658 WARNING [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.clearReferencesJdbc The web application [ROOT] registered the JDBC driver [org.postgresql.Driver] but failed to unregister it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the JDBC Driver has been forcibly unregistered.

Any suggestions?

Please stop Confluence using the stop-confluence.sh script and as you start it again, use

tail -f atlassian-confluence.log

to watch as it starts up. After the catalina.out logs a line like "server startup in so-many ms" then atlassian-confluence.log should have an entry "Starting Confluence .... version" etc

On a healthy startup, there will be a system report, then a list of plugins loading, then the message "Confluence is ready to serve". To find the issue, look for any ERROR entries between Starting Confluence and Confluence is ready to serve.

I look forward to hearing what you find and will be happy to help research any errors.

Hi Ann, here is the output, as you can see it stops right away:

If there is nothing confidential in the log, could you post it again? It appears to have been removed.
