Confluence is hung on startup
Asked by dchisholm:

Started a PDF export of a space which ran and ran but never finished. Was getting 500 errors in the UI while it was running.

Tried restarting Confluence, and it hung. Rebooted the server and it still hung. It is hitting 100% CPU on one of two CPUs of the server.

Cannot get passed this problem. Any suggestions?

Environment:

\* CentOS 6

\* Confluence 6.0.1

\* Several Scroll add-ons

I would post the stacktrace but it's too large.

**EDIT**

Found the following after grepping the logs for deadlock:

```

**EDIT 2**

I have updated the mchange and c3p0 jars to the very latest versions and got the same results. Adapted this suggestion from <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-25531>


Answers:
author: dchisholm
body: Thanks for all the responses. We were not able to recover the instance and had to restore from a backup with some data loss.


author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi David,

To further investigate here, we'd need to have a Confluence Support ZIP, containing the full log of the Confluence start.

Can you please send this one to [support@k15t.com](mailto:support@k15t.com) ?

We'll then have a closer look and will come back to you.

Best,  
Nils


author: Steven F Behnke
body: 1. Consider opening a support request
2. Can we a portion of the log proceeding the deadlock lines? If you're using GREP you can use -B 50 to get the 50 lines before. (-A 50 similarly would get the 50 lines after)

comments: author: AnnWorley
body: [@Steven F Behnke](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781476) The customer is most likely using a starter license so the Community Forum is their exclusive support channel.


author: dchisholm
body: Yes, we are. Unfortunately we discovered today that the support for starters has changed.


author: dchisholm
body: Here are the gory details of the lines prior to the deadlocks but I had to reduce the count to 20 to fit the comment limits:

body: The KB article you're looking for should be here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/troubleshooting-deadlocks-in-confluence-182683241.html>

They **all** point to systemic issues, counter to the theory that this had anything to do with a PDF Export.
