Can't Install Confluence
Asked by David Malka:

Some context: I have/had a 5.7 production instance, but couldn't be bothered continuing to admin it. I want to move to the Cloud, but can't import a 5.7 instance into the Cloud, so I have a CentOS laptop on which I want to install 6.15.10, and then import my spaces there before exporting them again in a Cloud-compatible format.

I downloaded the installer, and when I first ran bin/start-confluence.sh, I was able to hit <http://IPADDRESS:8090> and start to configure the temporary instance.

The suddenly .. this ... any ideas? Thank you.

```
The SystemInformationService could not be retrieved from the container. Therefore very limited information is available in this error report. 
The SystemInformationService could not be retrieved due to the following error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set

author: Shannon S
body: Hello,

Thank you for raising this on the Atlassian Community. The "Spring Application Context" error is a common one, so I recommend you start by reviewing the causes on the following page:

* [Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html)

If you still have issues, you can raise a ticket with our Server to Cloud Migration support team following this link:

[Contact Cloud Migration Team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/?inquiry_category=migration_support&migration_direction=Server%20-%3E%20Cloud&support_type=customer)

I hope that helps!

Take care,

Using a Data Center evaluation license on 6.15 will always prompt you to install at /setup/setup-cluster-start.action, as you encountered, since 6.15.10 doesn't support single-node Data Center. You can refer to [Moving to Data Center](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF615/Moving+to+Confluence+Data+Center) for the prerequisites.

Instead, you can try on 7.4 and [configure single-node Data Center](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Running+Confluence+Data+Center+on+a+single+node) or check if your previous Server license would allow you to upgrade to 5.10. That's the minimal version required to migrate using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant.

I recommend contacting the Cloud Migration team for assistance, using the link I shared earlier: [Contact Cloud Migration Team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/?inquiry_category=migration_support&migration_direction=Server%20-%3E%20Cloud&support_type=customer). They can help you sort out your licensing and installation issues to help you get your content migrated to Cloud. Let me know if you're having trouble getting in touch with them.

Take care,

body: Hi again, Shannon. I'm not sure that the Cloud migration team will be able to help me, since I am never going to be using anything more than a free licence.

I have now got the temporary Confluence up and running, and I have managed to import one space from my previous 5.7 on-prem instance. When I look at that space, however, I see a lot of pages created by 'unknown user'.

My aim is to have the old 5.7 spaces on-prem, transferred as seamlessly as possibly, over to the Cloud. Is there any way to keep the users?

I spoke with the Migration team and they can help you with the migration, but the Server/Data Center team can help you work out your current issue. I'm raising a support ticket on your behalf, and I'll add the history to the case.

Keep an eye out for your email for that ticket number!

Take care,
