Getting system error after installing Confluence server

[Anand Badiger]

I tried installing Confluence similarly I installed bit bucket and Jira. While installation when I gave my MYSQL DB it started creatting table. It took little more time than expected. Hence I refreshed the page. I get below error.

A system error has occurred — our apologies!

For immediate troubleshooting, consult our knowledge base for a solution.

If you would like to receive support from Atlassian's support team, ask your Confluence administrator to create a support issue on Atlassian's support system with the following information:

1. a description of your problem and what you were doing at the time it occurred
2. a copy of the error and system information found below
3. a copy of the application logs (if possible).

Your Confluence administrator can use the support request form to create a support ticket which will include this information.

We will respond as promptly as possible.
Thank you!
