Error Installing Confluence 5.5 on Linux

Andrew Walker6

Hi,

I downloaded the latest trial version of Confluence 5.5 on Friday. Trying to install on Linux.

bash-3.2$ cksum atlassian-confluence-5.5.tar

3270664784 219955200 atlassian-confluence-5.5.tar

I untar OK.

I Modifyconfluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties

set HOME/devshared/home/u1348583/atlassian-confluence-5.5

Note: Must point to physical path, not symbolic linked

I Modifybin/setenv.sh

set JAVA_HOME/usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_24_32

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_24_32

export JAVA_HOME

The Default port = 8090

I then Startup withbin/start-confluence.sh -fg

My client connects OK, and I start the install process. I enter my trial key OK. The servers starts it's processing. The client then errors with:

Cause

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No internal directory found. Should have already been created in the previous step.

There are many errors in the HOME/logs directory.  Hard to know which one(s) is/are the cause.  Maybe:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: integrity constraint violation: unique constraint or index violation; BANDANA_UNIQUE_KEY table: BANDANA

Any help/advice greatly received.

Finally it's working. I don't know why but it is.

I used another Linux user account to install Confluence v5.5 and it worked first time (as expected). No idea why the original Linux account didn't allow the install to complete; this original account was fine for installing JIRA v6.2.4 (again, first time).

What access or operation does Confluence perform during the config setup stage, something that requires 'additional' access right? I have no idea.

Thanks for your help guys!

Hey Andrew,

By the provided stack trace it seems that Confluence is having trouble when it tried to integrate with JIRA user management since Internal directory is no created yet.

Could you please try an installation from scratch by droping Confluence current database, delete all the content inside Confluence HOME directory try starting Confluence again?

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

David|Atlassian Support

Hi Andrew,

Please try installing Confluence with internal user managing, create just an admin user internally. After you get your new Confluence up and running, you can go to Confluence Admin->User Directories, and add your JIRA as a directory repository over there.

Best regards,

Felipe Alencastro

Hi Felipe, Deividi,

I was just performing a standalone install of Confluence - while we do run JIRA in the company, I wasn't wanting to link (this trial instance of) Confluence to existing JIRA instances. I have removed all install files and untar'd 3 times now, once using 64-bit Java 6. Same error in client. Still unable to get Confluence running past the install phase.

In the console window, this is the first error message that pops up:

2014-05-06 06:51:41,559 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] [com.atlassian.confluence.lifecycle] contextInitialized Starting Confluence 5.5 [build 5501 based on commit hash a39771cd4bb7ab00a226a7ea8d6dd65e64226a7f]

But a quick search shows the JAR and class does exist. Strange.

I will try one more install from archive; if that doesn't work (should be the easiest option), I'll try the installer option.

By the way - I note both JIRA and Confluence archives include tomcat 7.0.47

What's the recommendation: 1 tomcat each for JIRA and Confluence? Or can I install / configure both (trial applicaitons of) JIRA and Confluence to run in the same tomcat?

Deividi Luvison

Tomcat 7 is supported in the latest version (we bundle that one now). Regarding the applications we do not recommend running both apps in the same tomcat container, so my vote is one tomcat per application.
