Unable to create Space or Pages after upgrading for Confluence 4.2.11 to 5.4.1
Asked by Tej Sarup:

Hello,

I just completed an upgrade from version 4.2.11 to 5.4.1 of confluence and for some reason I am unable to create spaces or pages. The popup comes and keeps 'Loading..' forever.

The catalina and atlassian logs are not showing any error/ exceptions. I have checked the site using Firebug (in Firefox) and there is a request fired to the URL:

[](http://myserver/appRoot/rest/create-dialog/1.0/space-blueprint/dialog/web-items)<http://myserver/appRoot/rest/create-dialog/1.0/space-blueprint/dialog/web-items>

This request is resulting in an HTTP 500 server error (again no logs on server side).

Please help.

I have already tried:

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Create+Pages+%28The+Create+Page+Popup+Loads+Forever%29+After+Confluence+Upgrade+to+5.x)[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Create+Pages+%28The+Create+Page+Popup+Loads+Forever%29+After+Confluence+Upgrade+to+5.x](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Create+Pages+%2528The+Create+Page+Popup+Loads+Forever%2529+After+Confluence+Upgrade+to+5.x)

(even though it was not really applicable to me)

?pdate:

I was able to modify the logs to debug and saw this:

body: Hi,

The error suggests that the issue could be about SQL Server jdbc driver. You can clarify the supported database platform for running Confluence 5.4.1 from the following [page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Supported+Platforms "Supported Platform") and update it if necessary.

Thank you and regards,

Lazuardi
