Hi Baran,

Thanks for contacting us there. It seems that you've encountered a known issue of which we have a Knowledge Base article written up for.

The work around and KB article is written up here, please follow it and let me know how that goes:

The Spring WebApplicationContext could not be started

Hope this helps!

Cheers, Vicky.

I received the same error message when upgrading from ver 1.2.2 to ver 1.3.0. I confirmed that STASH_HOME did not have a trailing slash and that /etc/hosts contained "localhost". This was on CentOS 5. Are there any other possible causes for this error?

I believe that the cause issue for me was that ImageIO/JAI was not installed correctly.

For Linux/Windows this should be pretty easy to solve, but I had a harder time with OSX.

I solved it on OSX in one way, but it probably isn't the best and will fight with ImageIO/JAI another day:

vi /usr/local/atlassian-stash/atlassian-stash/WEB-INF/spring-mvc-servlet.xml
<!-- JSR-303 (bean validations) support will be detected on classpath and enabled automatically -->

</mvc:message-converters>
</mvc:annotation-driven>

We are keen to get a Stash installation up and running for evaluation purposes and are experiencing this issue with 2.8.3 and 2.8.4. A support ticket (SSP-2769) has been opened with the specifics and we would love to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible.

So; I guess I'll just have to wait as I'm in the same situation.
