Cannot login

Question

I've recently migrated (tentative of) a confluence 3.x from a centos to a ubuntu 14.04 box.

I've copied the file system, duped the database, fixed connection url and password etc etc.

I've installed Oracle Java 7 as was in the old centos box.

I'm promped with login but no username/password gains access to confluence.

I see in the logs:

How can I fix this?

Ok, that's a good step forward.  The username/password thing I can't really help you with though.  You'll need to give it a valid username and password.

Thank you; it is Confluence 3.1.2 so using oracle java 6 resolved the errors in logfile, unfortunately still I cannot login and no message appear in the logs except "Sorry, your username and password are incorrect. Please try again." in page

Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Answer

That usually means the wrong version of java is there, or you've got a busted installation - check ownership and permissions on the directories and files (only the much later versions of Confluence 3 ran on Java 7 from memory, and it needs to be the Sun/Oracle one.  So if your 3.x is 3.1, you need Java 6, if it's 3.5, then 7 should be ok)
