Find a solution to one of these problems below:
localhost:8090 times out
Check the server logs for errors. If you are running the Confluence distribution on Windows, error messages will be printed to the console window that opened when you ran startup.bat
. On Linux/Solaris systems, Confluence will log messages to logs/catalina.out
.
localhost:8090 goes to the Tomcat start homepage
The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is set to another instance of Tomcat. You should run shutdown.sh, remove the CATALINA_HOME reference to the other Tomcat version, and run startup.sh again.
Logins fail at the login screen
If you try to login with the correct username and password but are always returned to the login screen without any error messages, and you are running a software firewall, please check that it is not blocking the Confluence server.
