Ubuntu Confluence Trail not working
Asked by Aaron Lewis:

So I have set up Confluence 7.3.5 trial on an Ubuntu VM - set up goes smoothly, but when accessing the site http://localhost:8090/setup/setupembeddeddb-default.action I get a blank screen, no login or setup and a link to <https://www.atlassian.com/>. What did I miss during installation? ![confluence.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90068i4B4A2AD733EE4854/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence.PNG")

Hi Aaron

welcome to the community

Can you by chance have a look to the corresponding log files

(catalina.out below the logs directory in the confluence installation directory or

atlassian-confluence.log in the logs directory below your confluence home directory)

Cheers

Kurt
