Ubuntu Confluence Trail not working

[Aaron Lewis]

So I have set up Confluence 7.3.5 trial on an Ubuntu VM - set up goes smoothly, but when accessing the site http://localhost:8090/setup/setupembeddeddb-default.action I get a blank screen, no login or setup and a link to https://www.atlassian.com/. What did I miss during installation?

Hi Aaron

welcome to the community

Can you by chance have a look to the corresponding log files 

(catalina.out below the logs directory in the confluence installation directory or

atlassian-confluence.log in the logs directory below your confluence home directory)

Cheers

Kurt

Please let me know what you are seeing/ looking for and I can also grep through, search to see why the main pages are not loading.
