Did you kill it as root user ? Yes, ps -eaf | grep confluence should return the process id.

Hi @Justin Christopherson when you say page status, are you using any plugin /third party app to tag the page status of your confluence pages ?

Yes, it should be fine to kill the confluence service running with root and then you can start it again with confluence user. You can tail the logs in another window to check if there any errors logged during the startup.

So you want to include a link anywhere in current space's tree structure ? I think that's not possible. Adding them in between will cause confusion to users as they might think the page exists in the same space.

Hi @Guro Welcome to the community! You can include links to a page from another space using Space Shortcuts. You just need to configure the sidebar and add links. Is this what you are looking for ?

For startup issues, you can check confluence application log to see why it is failing to start up - Log location - <local-home>/logs/confluence-application.log

Starting the service with the service owning account eg: confluence is recommended. If you start it with root, its possible that it might change ownership of few files and it will cause some other issues. 

Thank you for the screenshots Vishal. Can you check if this behavior is same on other browsers ? Any other users facing exact same issue ? You can try few things - Sometimes browser add-ons might block displaying images. You may want to disable them if you have any. Clear you cache and cookies and try again. Lastly you can…

Hello @Islam It seems like the http server (httpd process) is not running. Can you try starting it first and then start confluence ? Have you created a service for confluence service stop/start rather than using the confluence-install/bin/start-confluence.sh or confluence-install/bin/stop-confluence.sh script ?

No problem Rishank, you will find that log under <confluence-home>/logs directory.

Hi @Rishank Kumar Welcome to the community. Assuming you are on Confluence Server, can you please check atlassian-confluence.log to see detailed errors. You might want to increase connectionTimeout which defaults to 20000 milliseconds (20 seconds) in server.xml file.

Hi @Vishal Bhavsar Welcome to the community. Could you please add screenshots, it will help to understand the issue better?

Hi @Les Algeo No problem:) Chrome should work fine. I think you have run into a a bug, refer this link for details. As per that there's a workaround below - which may not work in all cases - * Copy the page with the tasks * Publish it * Delete the original OR Contact Atlassian Support to manually remove duplicates.

Hi @Mably Welcome to the community! Wow, you are running on Confluence version 2.8.x ? that's way too old. As per the advisory, i can't see that version is affected by the vulnerability, the affected versions starts with version 4.x.x and onwards. But I will recommend raising a support ticket with Atlassian support for…

Hi @Les Algeo Welcome to the community! By any chance do you have duplicate tasks in your page ? and are you facing this issue in other browsers as well ?

Hi @Gary Huang Welcome to the community. The number of file may differ based on confluence version that you have installed. You can simply check if those files exist in your install directory, and ignore the error if it doesn't exist. I will also recommend raising a priority ticket with Atlassian Support for your case.

In summer, I prefer fresh coconut water, it keeps me hydrated :)

You are welcome @Nilan Dias Please accept the answer so that it will help other community members having similar query :)

Hi @Florian Martin As I understand you are the creator of a page and are receiving notifications for any changes on that page though you are not watching it anymore. I couldn't find enough documentation on how to stop such notifications. This can be easily solved by changing the creator of the page, but currently it is not…

Hi @JAMES LIN It is safe to clean delete files under <confluence_install>/temp when confluence service is down. Confluence components write temporary files or lockfiles into this directory. There's already a suggestion with Atlassian to automatically clear the content of the directory. You can vote for that feature and…

I would suggest writing a script which will fetch your content from all spaces and then decide based on character count in the pages (eg: less than zero ie empty) and then notify the page creators asking them to delete those empty pages.

Running the workaround/mitigation script is recommended which will temporarily mitigate the issue until you can upgrade to a version that fixes this permanently. 

Hi @Roger Bjärevall If you cannot upgrade confluence immediately, the quickest option for you is to try the temporary workaround mentioned in the article. In that case, if you have the older version backup, you can still restore it and bring up confluence and apply the workaround. Once it is applied, you can then think of…

Hi @Meir Ben Salmon have you added the group to the space with required permissions ? you can also add the group as watcher to your page so that they get email notifications for it.

Ok, so you will go to - Space tools > Content Tools > Choose Templates > Create new or edit any of the existing template. When you create or edit a template, you can choose Template > New Variable from the editor toolbar.

Hi @Alana Moss Welcome to the community! Are you trying to add a user macro ?

Glad my answer was useful @Ramy Alfred 

Hi @Ramy Alfred Welcome to the community! You can control access to your space via permissions or restricting view/edit access so that it won't be visible to others accept certain users/group that you grant access to. Refer below links for more details - Assign space permissions Permissions and restrictions

Yes, there's already a workaround for affected versions listed on this link.

Hi @Islam Welcome to the community! By default, the application log files can be found in the <local-home>/logs directory. Refer this link for more details.
