body: Most of that is the tail end of a system shutting down (with some errors, which we can come back to), but the last few lines are showing it starting up again, which implies you restarted it.

So, that looks like Tomcat is running, so we actually need to read the application log in \<confluence home\>/log to see what that is doing. I expect it will tell you that Confluence is not starting, and generally tell you why as well.
