Confluence - an error has occurred

Craig Diotte
Craig Diotte October 10, 2017

We have installed confluence on our box running Jira.  

 

#uname -a

linux au-p-jira-02 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u2 (2017-06-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch)
Release: 9.1
Codename: stretch

Our JIRA url is http://jira.domainname.net:8080

Our Confluence URL is http://jira.domainname.net:8090/

(port 8080 vs 8090)

When we point our browser to the 8090 URL, we get:

That table appears to be empty on my system:

MariaDB [(none)]> use confluencedb
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

MariaDB [confluencedb]> describe cwd_app_dir_mapping;
+----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | bigint(20) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| application_id | bigint(20) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| directory_id | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| allow_all | char(1) | NO | | NULL | |
| list_index | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
+----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
