"Your confluence instance is already completely setup" Looping

[Josh Schaffenberger]

Hello --

We wanted the URL to not have a port at the end of it, and tried to switch the connector in server.xml to listen on port 80. 

This didn't work, and looped us to http://localhost/bootstrap/selectsetupstep.action

and the text on that page is:

Your confluence instance is already completely setup.

Return to Confluence.

I set everything back, and this still loops. (now http://localhost:8090/bootstrap/selectsetupstep.action

Your confluence instance is already completely setup.

Return to Confluence.) 

Why does this think its the setup page, and that that i want to do additional setup?

Do i need to change something in the SQL database?  We are really stuck.

Thanks in advance,

josh

Please verify confluence user account has the Full Permission to both the 'Confluence_Home' and 'Confluence_Install' Directory.
Issue might be caused due to insufficient permissions

[Gabe Ferland _Site Admin_]

I have same issue. Did anyone find a solution?

[Lauri Vasko]

Issue still reachable. I ran standalone confluence with command:

atlas-run-standalone --product confluence

And got the same message. Maybe i did something with atlas-run-standalone before, that caused something to enter a non-favourable state, but i cannot put my finger on it.

Hi Maikes

How did you solve the problem?

Hi Josh,

I had this happen on a test instance and it was my browser cache. Just in case, please try clearing your browser cache or using a browser that has not cached the error page.

What happens when you use the "Return to Confluence" option? That worked on my instance.

Please also try the login URL directly: <Base_URL>/login.action

I look forward to hearing how you fare.

Thanks,

Ann

Sadly, all of those take us to the same screen. 

I think we will reinstall, and restore from a backup.

Thanks for your help!
