Do you have any Suggestions for the above error report? thank you

The warning message shows during the startup of confluence and it appears like some of configuration setting were incorrect . However, that's wrong.

Confluence shows up this warning message even when the configuration is correct.

This looks to be a bug in all versions of Confluence and there is an open ticket with Atlassian.

Please refer:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-35172>

Thanks,

Kiran.

Strangely enough, my confluence service could not be started. When I started the service, this error was the only one in the log.

To run Confluence in the foreground, start the server with start-confluence.sh -fg  
executing using dedicated user: confluence  
If you encounter issues starting up Confluence, please see the Installation guide at <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Installation+Guide>

I suspect issue is with your Linux server. Check for any unknown cronjobs runnings and disable and then try.

thanks,
