Confluence 3.5.17 hangs at http://localhost:8080/setup/dosetuplicense.action

[Guenter Huber]

I need a Confluence 3.5 to try an upgrade to 4.3.

Upgrading our whole enterprise Cf for testing purposes is a joke, so I want to import one space and then upgrade, as suggested by Jobin Kuruvilla.

3.5.17 hangs at http://localhost:8080/setup/dosetuplicense.action! (Production)

?

Thx

I killed Tomcat and on the next attempt it worked.

Sorry, you were faster than me... I'm glad that it worked :D

Hi,

It's too little information to be sure, but I have a hint that it can be related to the license version. Old license versions need to be converted to work with Confluence version 3.x.x onwards.

You may try these instruction: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Upgrade+Failed+due+to+Licensing+Error

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Thanks, but sorry, no, Tiago!

Licensing was online - directly out of the install in the browser!
