i've noticed that no logs are being logged to /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs but do not know why.

have confirmed firewall is off (as root, systemctl firewalld stop)

Hi @Dwayne ,

Can you check if the Confluence Home Directory (/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/) is set in confluence-init-properties file ?

Also, check the permissions and ownership of /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence

If everything is good, once confluence starts, atlassian-confluence.log file will generate in /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs.

Thanks,

Kiran.

Hi,

There might be multiple reasons for this.

The logs doesn't show any error message.Please grep with error or FATAL.
