Daniel Farnan added a comment - 14/Jan/2016 5:15 AM Found the same error with v5.9 - deleting confluence.cfg.xml has not helped.

Maxim Novikov added a comment - 26/Nov/2015 11:02 PM - edited Dovid, thanks a lot, that has solved the issue for me. None of the Atlassian docs/support helped, unfortunately.

dovi5988 added a comment - 29/Jan/2015 11:04 PM As per Atlassian support it can be permissions issue or db issues. I stopped confluence, deleted the config file (confluence.cfg.xml.) and just reset up the system which cleared things up for me.

Konstantin Kolesnichenko added a comment - 29/Jan/2015 11:12 AM I have same problem (installation of trial demonstration version on linux) too. Changed ownership of all confluence files and directories to confluence:confluence, but it didn't help.

dovi5988 added a comment - 28/Jan/2015 10:47 AM I have the same issue as well. It says that the issue has been resolved but no details here.

Steve Haffenden (Inactive) added a comment - 21/Aug/2013 10:03 PM Hi Fatai Thanks for raising this issue. It sounds like something that our support team should be able to help you out with.
