Failure when starting confluence service on vServer with systemctl

[Hans-Georg Emberger]

Starting and stopping confluence service on my vServer works perfect manually.

Now I wanted to start the service when the system starts and using systemctl

[systemctl status confluence
● confluence.service - Confluence

the configuration is as described here:

Any suggestion??

Hello Hans-Georg,

this suggestion https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-54291 might be helpful.

[Hans-Georg Emberger]

Hi Johan, thank you for the link. I followed this already, but did not provide any improvement.It seems that the ExecStop is the issue ...

Problem solved:

In the connector block for https, I forgot to move the /> to the end of the keystore file path. 

Port 8443 is now open.
