Confluence server does not seem to start after installation on Ubuntu

Question

Hi,

Been trying to get confluence server working on an Ubuntu VM (17.10) running on Google cloud compute. I followed the instructions here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-on-linux-143556824.html and installation showed no errors. However, I tried to connect (through SSH on my local) to http://localhost:8090 but there was a connection error. Tried checking netstat, and it seems its not running if not it should show up for port 8090?

Not to sure what to do now. I did another check as described by running this command  = ps -ef | grep confluence and it does not seem to be running. Also tried restarting it again by running sudo /etc/init.d/confluence start and again no errors but still confluence doesn't seem to be live.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Been struggling to get this up and running....

It works thanks guys! Getting another error now but I think I'll create another question for it.

You're right, the message "There is insufficient memory " means exactly what it says.

Reduce the memory limit to something that fits inside the physical memory you have on the machine, remembering to leave space for the operating system as well

I would assume it means not enough memory for JRE?
