**I dont find atlassian-confluence.log anywhere on my machine.**

**I have confluence 4.1 on a linux box. I read on some of your blogs that UWC is not compatable with Confluence 4.1, I was getting the same error while conveting the pages.**

**Hence i set up a confluence server 3.5.7 evalution version on a windows desktop**

**Can you please help me in resolving this issue**
