Hello,

Lukas, could you clarify more detail info? From which version and to which version did you upgrade?

Also, could you provide a more log info?

Cheers,

Hello,

everything started by no space on server -> backups just ate all disk space . Confluence was not working. So I deleted backups, restarted server and saw, that it still does not work. So I upgrade the confluence to the 6.10., no success (same error message), then I used 6.9. same error message,... I think the upgrade was from 6.7.0

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

Well,

what about logs?

Hello, any other idea? why confluence won't start, please?

Lukas Brezina

So, now I even reinstalled the confluence, but without success, the localhost does not run...

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

May I know your confluence behind the reverse proxy?

Lukas Brezina

It deoes not run on the public IP, as we are behind the proxy server...

Lukas Brezina

Any other idea?

Lukas Brezina

@Gonchik Tsymzhitov .... I tried to do as much today myself, but from some reason still dos not work.

- I found the backup of the HOME folder, and I have a backup of the SQL database

- I uninstalled confluence, removed the Atlassian folder from Program Files

- installed the old version, which was there before - 6.7.0.

- loaded back the HOME folder, started confluence

- not possible to open the localhost page, though...

if I open the atlassian-confluence.log, I can see ...

Hi!

Could you provide the setenv.sh, conflurencedb.xml ?

Looks like it is related driver connecting

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/migrate-from-the-jtds-driver-to-the-supported-microsoft-sql-server-driver-in-confluence-6-4-or-later-939505122.html

Cheers,

Hi! Sorry to piggy back on your post but I did an upgrade from version 6.6.2 to 6.10.2 and got the same Pre-Activation error.

I have Confluence running as a Windows Service and one thing I noticed was that the executable path did not update to use tomcat9.exe which resulted in Confluence not starting up. Not sure if that is something you are facing as well.

Wondering if Gonchik can advise on that.

Thank you!

Hello, I finally fixed it yesterday. It took me few hours. But it works. uff

I deleted everything, removed all confluence, etc..

I restored SQL DB from backup, installed Confluence 6.7.0., extracted backup of HOME directory to the confluence and setup the parameters to connect the DB.

Voila, it started to work - then I did the upgrade to the 6.10.1 and everything is fine
