Confluence crashes due to insufficient disk space and truncated confluence.cfg.xml file
Problem
Confluence or the server on which it resides crashes. As a result, the confluence.cfg.xml file gets truncated to a zero kb file. In contrast, the other folders within <confluence-home> remain intact. The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:
2008-01-07 10:07:05,918 INFO [main] [com.atlassian.confluence.lifecycle] contextInitialized Starting Confluence 2.6.0 (build #913)

Cause
The system ran out of disk space.
Resolution
- Setup a new instance and ensure the setup is successful
- Copy the
confluence.cfg.xmlover to the old instance and make sure the license used is valid Make the necessary changes such as the connection url to match the configuration in the older instance
