Hi,

we are working with an instance of Confluence.

 

Some weeks it works realy fine. But now we have a huge problem.

(Maybe the Problem is only big for us)

 

When i connect to the Website i get an errorcode 500.

Maybe someone can help me so i can use my instance again.

 

HTTP Status 500 - java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: Could not open Hibernate Session for transaction; nested exception is net.sf.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Cannot open connection
