Upgraded 7.7.3 to 7.13.0 - confluence doesn't start

August 26, 2021

Just updated our installation from 7.7.3 to 7.13.0 and confluence no longer completes the startup procedure.

After waiting several minutes, the java process stops consuming CPU and just sits idle. I have waited 15 minutes, but still not possible to login or any new messages in log. I have tried with the stock server.xml as well.

Running on debian with mysql and java 1.8.0_121 (same as 7.7.3 was running fine on).

Where should I start looking for a solution?

 

catalina.out after starting 7.13.0:

Let it sit overnight and now found the instance at least started:

Errors logged on the webpage when trying to access:

Pre-Upgrade recovery file generation failed.
Please refer to https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/ropKGQ for possible solution.

 

I will try the instructions there and disable backup file generation. Disk space is not an issue.

Letting it sit worked. I left mine for about an hour and it came up
