[Daniel Ebers · Accepted solution]

Hi Maansi,

from some other Community posts the solution was to re-check the file system permission of the Confluence home directory. As you said you faced the error during upgrade maybe this was just forgotten:

• Confluence installation throw an error : "Confluence is vacant, a call to tenanted is not allowed."
  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-installation-throw-an-error-quot-Confluence-is-vacant/qaq-p/846918

Apart from that in the "Confluence startup error" thread there are some more hints and tips:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-startup-error/qaq-p/624859
  
  This one for example suggests problems with tha name resolution (DNS) of the host.

The last one suggests there were some timeout issues with their reverse proxy.

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-is-vacant-a-call-to-tenanted-public-abstract-org/qaq-p/737863

Also, this knowledge base article might apply:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-generates-confluence-is-vacant-error-on-install-779164449.html

Please check and let us hear from you. In case you could describe further how the update was done it would help other users from community to provide a better and more detailed answer.

Cheers,
Daniel
