Can anybody restore a Confluence build from a backup without entities.xml or exportDescriptor files?

Question

Oh if anybody can help me I'd be so grateful. I've had a local(server) Confleunce build now for a few years.

August 11th, we did an upgrade to the latest verison, 6.3.3 I believe. I went through all the backup steps, as per warned.

That upgrade broke, and I could never get it back up and running correctly.

I've since uninstalled Confluence and reinstalled, in hopes that I could do a new build from the restore point. No such luck.

The 2 files required to restor from are not contained in my backup and havent been in backups for quiet a while.

Anybody have any tips or a solution to get my team back up without starting from scratch?

Thanks so much

Sonny

It seems that Tomcat running Confluence is acting up. Spiking CPU resources etc.

Thank you both so much. I was able to get a stable Version 5.9.4 up and running which was awesome.

Has to make some adjustments in the database for build differences but that wasn't a problem.

However.... I decided to try the upgrade to 6.4. BAD IDEA!!!!!

I can't get any pages to run other than the main dashboard. Looks like im heading back to Step 1 again.

Sonny, on number 3, in case you cannot find the path to confluence-init.properties, please try the path: <confluence_install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes
