Server is started only one times

[Sven Stärk]

My confluence server started only one times after installation.

I did a complete new installation on a new Debian server too.

But if i start my confluence server then this following lines are in my catalina.out:

Do you know this error "SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder""?

How can I fix it?

[Hannes]

We updated our Confluence from 7.2.0 to 7.3.3  in an testing environment and have nearly the same problem. The starting of Confluence get interrupted. In the catalina.out log we have the same messages like you and some additional Infos like:

"Unrecognized VM option 'UseGCLogFileRotation'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine."

Do you find a solution? We tried out to eleminate all "gc" entries from the setenv.sh. That worked but we dont think that this should be the workaround.

[Sven Stärk]

No, i didn't find a solution.

But now confluence will start if i start it manually. And confluence don't start after the server booted although it is in rc.d:
