running as Windows Service is not working

Christian Hoffmann August 15, 2022

I can start Confluence with the Batch-File "starup_bundled_jre.bat" in that Way Confluence is working properly.
I also installed the Windows Service as descriped here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/start-confluence-automatically-on-windows-as-a-service-172071.html

Unfortunately this is not working for me. If I start the Service Confluence is not comming up and after 2 Minutes the Service is stopping.
I looked into the Logs and can see several Exceptions.
I tried this with several accounts with Admin Privilegs but no success.

Hi @Christian Hoffmann

in case you do not want to provide the logs for a reason there is a troubleshooting section in the page you linked, in case you have not seen it.
You can try to work along the troubleshooting hints to see if the service comes up then.

Hi @Daniel Ebers 

How can I upload a Log File to the Community? I can't find the Way. The Log is not very big. I deleted all Logs and start the service. Only the atlassian-confluence Log has entries:

The last line starts with an ERROR but I am not sure if this is the cause.
There might be more lines, you could check.
You could also review Windows event log if something more meaningful is logged.

With the given information I could not pinpoint it to a single cause.
