Confluence server was done.
Asked by Mahipal Reddy:

confluence server cannot be accessed anymore we are getting below errors.

we done below setps also to fix this issue.

Shutdown Confluence

Remove the following directories

This will remove the plugin cache files only. It will not permanently remove any plugins. These directories will be recreated during the next Confluence startup.

\<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins

\<confluence-home\>/plugins-cache

\<confluence-home\>/plugins-osgi-cache

\<confluence-home\>/plugins-temp

\<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins_language

Ensure the user running Confluence has full read/write privileges to the confluence-home directory.

Start Confluence

but still the issue is not resloved.

Answers:
author: C. Faysal
body: did you try to purge \<confluence_install\>/work/ directory?

this should force a rebuild of the application

stop confluence and "rm -rf \<confluence_install\>/work/\*" (ATTENTION HERE. be sure just the work/ dir is beein cleared) ;)

start confluence and see if that helped
