Lola
Lola November 14, 2018

A system error has occurred — our apologies!

For immediate troubleshooting, consult our knowledge base for a solution.

If you would like to receive support from Atlassian's support team, ask your Confluence administrator to create a support issue on Atlassian's support system with the following information:

  1. a description of your problem and what you were doing at the time it occurred
  2. a copy of the error and system information found below
  3. a copy of the application logs (if possible).

Your Confluence administrator can use the support request form to create a support ticket which will include this information.

We will respond as promptly as possible.
Thank you!

The SystemInformationService could not be retrieved from the container. Therefore very limited information is available in this error report. 
The SystemInformationService could not be retrieved due to the following error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set

Hi Lola,

You can start by running through the ten causes and resolution steps from this article:

This has resolved the issue in the past for other users, so it should help in this case.

However, if none of the resolutions correct your issue, can you give us more information on the issue you are encountering? You've sent us the stack trace displayed in the UI, but we don't have any information on what you were doing when the error occurred, your Confluence version, and if you are upgrading or installing a fresh Confluence instance.

Please also provide us your database version and details of the server that is hosting Confluence and any stack traces from the application error logs. The stack trace you sent us is a good start, but you will find more concise information on the error in the logs.

 

Thank you!

Shannon
