Confluence configuration Spring Application context has not been set

I tried to install confluence on my own ubuntu server, but always failed. The error is:
com.atlassian.util.concurrent.LazyReference$InitializationException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set
at com.atlassian.util.concurrent.LazyReference.getInterruptibly(LazyReference.java:149)
caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set
at com.atlassian.spring.container.SpringContainerContext.getComponent(SpringContainerContext.java:48)
I saw some solutions in the jira confluence forum saying try to fix the permission of installed directory and home directory. I tried but failed again. How can I fix the problem.

In my case the issue was corrupted confluence.cfg.xml file (contains DB connection stings and other settings). The file size was 0 bytes.
I would suggest to use a VM to create a new installation and borrow confluence.cfg.xml from that installation.
It's embarrassing that this behavior has been allowed to exist for nearly 7 years in a commercial product. This is a basic stuff...
I wish that was on instructions somewhere:
Make single backup copy of confluence.cfg.xml immediately before any writes to it by the application. Application should be able to restore from backed up copy if it gets corrupted.

Atlassian documentation lists the following causes of this problem:
The user running Confluence does not have write permissions to the home folder defined in <install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties or the install directory.
You are running Confluence as the root user or if you have an application firewall enabled (SeLinux or AppArmor).
The database driver is not located in the <install>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib folder or you are using a database version that is incompatible with the bundled driver.
The hostname of the server can not be resolved.
In my case I was running it as root user inside docker container.

Zimbra 8 - java.lang.ClassFormatError: Truncated class file

We have been getting java.lang.ClassFormatError: Truncated class file since yesterday for our Zimbra server based on Ubuntu.
Despite that nothing is changed; everything had been going well until yesterday. Now the web user interface of Zimbra is not rendered; we get 500 internal server error in Firebug.
Any ideas to solve this problem?

Your server is setup on default configuration.
It unpacked your war file into the system temp directory, likely /tmp.
Some other process then cleared out the /tmp/ directory, rendering your active runtime invalid.
See other answer about setting temp / work directories for more information.

Problems with jCifs authentication on oracle RDMS embedded jvm

I'm using jCifs 1.3.17 to connect and list files on remote windows share.
Everything works fine on my local JRE(5,6,7), but the same code executed on oracle 11g database (11.2.0.3.0) crashes with following stack:
jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password. at
jcifs.smb.SmbTransport.checkStatus(SmbTransport.java:546) at
jcifs.smb.SmbTransport.send(SmbTransport.java) at
jcifs.smb.SmbSession.sessionSetup(SmbSession.java) at
jcifs.smb.SmbSession.send(SmbSession.java:218) at

jcifs.smb.SmbFile.connect(SmbFile.java:954) at

jcifs.smb.SmbFile.exists(SmbFile.java) at
pl.openlife.CifsConnect.listCIFSFiles(CifsConnect.java:49)
I found out, that user password lenght might cause the problem:
1. Windows env jdk1.5.0_22 -> works with long passwords
2. Oracle linux, RDMS embeded JVM -> works with short password only (8 characters)
3. Oracle linux, RDMS embeded JVM -> long password fails with error shown above.
Sample code:
NtlmPasswordAuthentication auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication(domain,
username,
password);
SmbFile dir = new SmbFile(path,auth);
if(!dir.exists()){
// ABOVE CHECK FAILS
}
I heard somewhere about problems with oracle embedded jvm and bugs in JCE, but this shouldn't be the case, as jcifs have its own implementation of algorithms such as RC4 or DES. Does anyone have a clue what can be the case? Is there a way to walk this around?

Unfortunately I didn't find any answer to the issue mentioned above.
As a walkaround, I have used older version of jcifs (jcifs-1.2.25), which seems to work properly with oracle db embedded jvm.
UPDATE:
I have imported jcifs lib again (1.3.17) and it is working like a charm. I ended up with conclusion, that the java library was not imported properly. Reimport (loadjava) with option "-force" and manual compilation of invalid objects solves the problem always, but (I cant't figure why) in my case it must be loaded in following order :
1. Load my program lib (will cause errors)
2. Load jcifs lib with force option
3. compile and resolve
It seems that oracle jvm is unpredictable :)

Service will not start: error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly

We have a custom service that we install with our application. The only problem is that after it is installed, it will not start, generating the error above. I have tried to diagnose what the problem is, but can't seem to find any useful information as to why it is quitting. I have tried the same service on a non "R2" 2008 server, and manual it worked fine.
service simple java file running using batch file. Deamon service.
Has anyone had any experience troubleshooting this type of problem, where there are so few clues?

Goto:
Registry-> HKEY_LOCAL‌​_MACHINE-> System-> Cur‌​rentControlSet-> Servi‌​ces.
Find the concerned service & delete it. Close regedit. Reboot the PC & Re-install the concerned service. Now the error should be gone.

This is a problem related permission.
Make sure that the current user has access to the folder which contains installation files.

I resolved the problem.This is for EAServer Windows Service
Resolution is -->
Open Regedit in Run prompt
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\EAServer
In parameters, give SERVERNAME entry as EAServer.
[It is sometime overwritten with Envirnoment variable : Path value]

This error message appears if the Windows service launcher has quit immediately after being started.
This problem usually happens because the license key has not been correctly deployed(license.txt file in the license folder).
If service is not strtign with correct key, just put incorrect key and try to start. Once started, place the correct key, it will work.

I had this error, I looked into a log file C:\...\mysql\data\VM-IIS-Server.err and found this
2016-06-07 17:56:07 160c InnoDB: Error: unable to create temporary file; errno: 2
2016-06-07 17:56:07 3392 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.

The first line says "unable to create temporary file", it sounds like "insufficient privileges", first I tried to give access to mysql folder for my current user - no effect, then after some wandering around I came up to control panel->Administration->Services->Right Clicked MysqlService->Properties->Log On, switched to "This account", entered my username/password, clicked OK, and it woked!

In my case the error 1067 was caused with a specific version of Tomcat 7.0.96 32-bit in combination with AdoptOpenJDK. Spent two hours on it, un-installing, re-installing and trying different Java settings but Tomcat would not start. See...
ASF Bugzilla – Bug 63625
seems to point at the issue though they refer to seeing a different error.
I tried 7.0.99 32-bit and it started straight away with the same AdoptOpenJDK 32-bit binary install.

I solved this issue using Monitor Tomcat application. I ran it and after a few seconds its icon appeared in my system tray. I right clicked on the icon and clicked the start button and after a few seconds Apache Tomcat started.

Weblogic server not running from jdeveloper

When i tried to run an application on jdeveloper, the server wont start and it shows the following message
*** Using HTTP port 7101 ***
*** Using SSL port 7102 ***
C:\Users\Ayodeji.Ayodeji\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1\DefaultDomain\bin\startWebLogic.cmd
[waiting for the server to complete its initialization...]
\IBM\WebSphere was unexpected at this time.
Process exited.

Finally i got the problem solved. I tried to locate the startWebLogic.cmd file in the specified path, and went through the file, then i realise its trying to access my classpath, so on checking my classpath from the environment variables, its has only entries to Websphere so i deleted the entry, restarted JDeveloper and my server is up and running.

I had the same issue with Eclipse setting Weblogic, I was trying to start the Server, but got the same error.
\IBM\WebSphere was unexpected at this time.
It was due to Window 7 folder security issue. As soon as I realized that, I close eclipse and start eclipse with Administration Right. That resolved the issue.

1.Go to
C:\Users\Ayodeji.Ayodeji\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\
Ayodeji.Ayodeji should be your PC User name
then change
system11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1
Folder name to another name and run.
