Can not log in after upgrade to Confluence 3.5.7

[timrmoore]

Copied across OSUser and Atlassian User files from 2.7.4 before upgrading, started Confluence OK (after adding new licence) but can not log in as any user. Can view confluence pages etc, but just can't log in

I believe this is an instance of the OSUser upgrade problem:

Hey Tim,

The user management system changed dramatically in Confluence 3.5 - it may not be possible to copy over your osuser and atlassian-user files from a Confluence 2.7 install and have it work instantly.

If you are still stuck, I think the quickest path for you it to create a support ticket on https://support.atlassian.com - our support engineers are upgrade experts and will be able to guide you through each step of the process.
