sql collation
Asked by Oliver Heitbreder:

Hello, I am installing confluence.

When I tried to connect to the MS-SQL-Database, I got the error

Database collation is incorrect, it must be set to 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS'. Please see <https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/pQXFIw>

I have fixed this on SQL-Server and resumed the Installation of Confluence.

Then I have got the following error Messages:

[**Return to site homepage...**](https://answers.atlassian.com/)The SystemInformationService could not be retrieved from the container. Therefore very limited information is available in this error report. The SystemInformationService could not be retrieved due to the following error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set

### Cause {#toc-hId-1158131250}

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)

body: Hello,

I have recreated the database correctly but I cannot find any dbconfig.XML file in my confluence - home not even on the whole computer.

comments: author: J. Caldwell
body: Then if that's the case, what happens when you start up confluence? It should start over again at that point for db setup.
