Confluence no longer responds - Debugging articles.

[Matt Riley]

We have both Jira and Confluence hosted on our own server, in the past they had both worked fine.  Today, Confluence will no longer respond, but jira is fine. Are there some articles about how to troubleshoot this condition?

(I have done some basics like rebooting)

I have access to the logs and nothing stands out immediately.

After rebooting the log looks like this:

Hello Matt,

Welcome to Atlassian Community and thanks for bringing this to us.

I don't believe the message you're encountering in your Catalina.out log is directly related to Confluence not responding. According the case below, this can happen on upgrade and doesn't cause any side effects:

• CONFSERVER-59347 Illegal reflective access warnings after Confluence startup

If you're having an issue with Confluence, it's best to check the Confluence logs instead. You can find these on your atlassian-confluence.log file. See Working with Confluence logs for more information.

Could you please have at your Confluence server log and let me know if you find any information about why Confluence isn't responding?

Please also confirm with me your Confluence version, database version, Java version, and any changes you might have made to your environment prior to this issue.

Thank you!

Shannon
