Confluence starts then shuts itself down...

[John Wright]

Upgrade to Confluence 3.4.2 was successful on our test server but the same setup doesn't work in production.

It appears to start then shut itself down:

(from atlassian-confluence.log)

2012-11-12 14:06:02,367 INFO main com.atlassian.confluence.lifecycle init Confluence is ready to serve

2012-11-12 14:06:03,447 INFO main atlassian.plugin.manager.DefaultPluginManager shutdown Shutting down the plugin system

2012-11-12 14:06:05,969 INFO main com.atlassian.confluence.lifecycle destroy Shutting down long running task service

2012-11-12 14:06:06,060 INFO main com.atlassian.confluence.lifecycle contextDestroyed Stopping Confluence

Did you check the catalena log for additional information?

There was nothing in it that led me to anything concrete. I have, however, determined that the problem is a conflict of some sort between Confluence 3.4.2 (port 9090) and Confluence 3.0.0_01 (port 8080) which run on the same server. I can run one or the other but not both.

There's not just the outgoing port. There's also a server control port - 8005 unless you've change it. You will need to modify that as well.

[John Wright]

Absolutely, you are correct. I had different server ports prior to the upgrade. I knew this particular conflict had to be something simple. Thanks Harry. I'm not out of the woods yet unfortunately (different issues to tackle now that the instance actually comes up) - buts that's for another post. :-)
