Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Based on an extract from the log it seem like this error - [Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html).

Usually there is a problem in setting the permissions of the Confluence Home and Confluence install folders -\> there must be confluence: confluence instead of root: root.

Cheers

Pavel

Is it possible to do import , restore from version 2.7.2 to 7.10.2?

Thx


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Not a chance, you will need to upgrade the 2,7 to 3.something, then 4.something, then 5.something. 5.something can produce an export that 7 can read.y


author: Pavel Junek
body: Yes, it's exactly as Nic writes. Confluence version 2.7.2 is too old to export / import data to Confluence 7.10.2.

Create a group on confluence to set restriction
Asked by Vera Qian:

Hi community,

I wish to set a space only visible to my team. To reach that, I wish to create a group so that I only need to add people to that group then add the restriction for my team.

Is that feasible? How to? I don't know how to create a group.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: Once you have created your group, you may also need to update the space permissions to remove groups or people that were automatically added when the space was created (based on the default space permissions configured).

E.g. you might need to remove a group like *confluence-users* from your space permissions.


author: KAGITHALA BABU ANVESH
body: Hello [@Vera Qian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4215400) ,

To enable restrictions on Space to specific people. You need to create a group first.

Unable to import a backup confluence zip file
Asked by Andrew Chatman:

Hi. I've been asked to take over a project from a team that used Confluence and Jira to manage the project. I'm new to both. I created a free Confluence (Cloud) account, and I've attempted to import the backup .zip file I was provided. I am going to Settings --\> Import Spaces, and pointing to the zip file on my computer. After the file is successfully uploaded, and hit the Import button.

After the zip file is imported, I get an error:

There was an error during import. Please see our guide to [raising a bug report](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Support/Atlassian+Cloud+Bug+Fixing+Policy).

and below it says:

Only Confluence space exports can be imported.

Does this mean that the zip file I've been given is not a Confluence space? Can anyone suggest the reason(s) that the export is not importing into Confluence? Again, rookie here with Confluence, and I wasn't involved in the creation of this backup file. Thanks.


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Andrew Chatman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4240735) ,

please could you specify if the export has been performed on a Server or a CLoud COnfluence instance?

BTW, probably you tried to import a full confluence backup and not a specific space export. You should be able to export a single space from the source confluence and try to import it into your target cloud instance.

In order to create the space export you should go to the admin space section -\> content tool -\> export -\> xml

![confluence_export.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127788i7C742E65A01B7BF1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence_export.png")

Hope this helps,

How to download confluence source code?
Asked by ???:

How to download confluence source code?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Go to <https://my.atlassian.com> , log in, cllick on Licences (if it's not already taken you to the list of products you already have), find the application you want the source for, and expand that line with the down-angle on the left. The expanded area will include a link to "download source"

Note this only works for full commercially licenced systems, with a valid licence, and you absolutely must not share any of the code with anyone who does not also have a commercial licence.


author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@???](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4238280)

The source code is available for commercial license holders.

How do I change the view on our Calendar back to the previous view?
Asked by Claire Stephens:

The view on our Calendar in Confluence changed on 1/26 for everyone that uses the calendar. The colors changed, the legend is on the left hand side, and all of the calendar events on each day do not display by default (the events are there, but if there are multiple events, the multiple events can only be displayed by selecting the plus sign). The calendar is now more difficult to read and each day must be manually expanded to see everything on the calendar.

Is there a way to revert back to the old view?


Answers:

author: Claire Stephens
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) As you can see, we now have to select the '+' to see all of the events for a specific day, which previously, all of the events would display.

Replicating a page to another space when users don't have perms to the space of origin
Asked by Kim Walton:

I know I've seen countless people asking this same question in various ways.

We have a very robust space with several tiers in the tree that is restricted to a group of folks. Within that space, there are a handful of pages that have content that needs to be made available to another group of folks that do not have perms to that space

Ideally, we want to grab a snapshot of those pages and replicate them over to a space that they can access and have the pages refresh when an update is made to the pages in the originating space.

Has anyone had any luck figuring out how to do that or any possible workaround ideas? We're not opposed to the idea a paid app either if it'll work really well


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Off-the-shelf, it's simple - to read a page directly, you need to be able to see it.

If you're happy to work with copies (which you'll need to think about how to keep in line), then yes, you can have a private source and a more open replica. Things like [the Comala apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=comala) can help you with that sort of approach (and they can do "work in one place, publish only authorised versions" too)

For more "present pages from source, but versions or alternatives depending on \<some variable\>", I tend to head towards the [scroll utilities](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=scroll)

Confluence Page Gadget Issues
Asked by Emma Place:

Hi, We added an available Confluence gadget URL to our Jira directory. However, some users are not able to find in the directory to add to their dashboards while other receive system errors when trying to connect their Confluence accounts to the gadget. Some got this error: "This gadget cannot be displayed on your dashboard. This could be due to a licensing problem or an application error. If you need this gadget, contact your administrator for assistance. Otherwise, you can remove it from your dashboard." Are these problems related to this being discontinued past Confluence 7.0? We were hoping it was still able to be used in Jira. Thank you!


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi Emma,

Atlassian ended support for this gadget in Confluence 7.0. The gadget no longer appears in the macro browser and can't be added to a page. Any gadget already on a page, or used in another application like Jira, will still work

Reset history, cash, reboot PC, nothing solve the issue. No special extension on Safari.

"Security and Encryption" app migration to Confluence Cloud (servicerocket)

author: Monique Khairuliana[ServiceRocket]
body: Hi Sarunas,

I'm from the product team of that app. You're right, the macros from Security and Encryption server currently do not have any migration path to their Cloud counterpart yet, and migrating them to Cloud (by migrating the pages) will not work. The migrated macros would display as "unknown macro" - it should not affect the page any other way. As a workaround, you may want to copy the content of the server macros (and paste them inside the secret macros in Cloud) manually

We don't have any migration path for this app yet as we recognized security implications as the app itself is built to deal with security matters. Nevertheless, we're tracking the interest \& feasibility of migrating Security and Encryption from Server to Cloud [here](https://ideas.atlassian.servicerocket.com/ideas/SEC-I-62).

If this were to change and a migration path is available in the future, then we will update the [tracker page](https://ideas.atlassian.servicerocket.com/ideas/SEC-I-62), and also this page
