Hi @abdel kader,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Based on an extract from the log it seem like this error - Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set.

Usually there is a problem in setting the permissions of the Confluence Home and Confluence install folders -> there must be confluence: confluence instead of root: root. 

Cheers

Pavel

Thank you Pavel,

I installed it with normal user not root, the permission is rw for this user

OK, thank you for the information. Please look at other possible causes and solutions in the line I sent you, maybe some of it will help you.

I started a new installation and it worked.

Is it possible to do import , restore from version 2.7.2 to 7.10.2?

Thx

Not a chance, you will need to upgrade the 2,7 to 3.something, then 4.something, then 5.something.  5.something can produce an export that 7 can read.y

[Pavel Junek]

Yes, it's exactly as Nic writes. Confluence version 2.7.2 is too old to export / import data to Confluence 7.10.2.
