Service Issues after Moving Home Directory

[Iain]

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. We originally had the confluence home directory on a drive but for various reasons we are required to move it to another. I followed the steps here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-home-and-other-important-directories-590259707.html

But once I restart the service and try to navigate to confluence with the web browser I am unable to connect and the service seems to stop.

I'm not sure what the issue could be? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Iain

Hi Jan,

I've followed this and pointed confluence to a folder that doesn't exist. It creates a new one and I've copied the files needed into the on it has made but still no luck.

This thread suggests that the TomCat service not running could be an issue but I can't see it in the services list. Do you know how I could check that?

Thanks for the reply!

Did you move the content of the directory?

Is there any further information in the log when Confluence is starting up?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I did move the contents and took into consideration replacing "\" with "/" when updating the text document.

I think I've caused a bit of a red herring as I've managed to get the original drive back and replace it. However the service still is not responding making me think that it is actually I different issue that was caused by powering the server off.

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the logs I should check for start-up issues and any suggestion to what may be wrong are very much appreciated.

Thanks again

Iain
