Symptoms
Confluence appears to start up but may run into various issues when viewing pages. The log file indicates that the plugin system has not started correctly.
The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:

There is a corrupted or incompatible plugin in the plugins cache. This can be caused by a few different things:
- The plugin is corrupted in the database
- The OSGi format has become incompatible in between the last time Confluence was stopped and when it was started. This can be because of the JDK being upgraded, the OS being upgraded, and possibly caused by other factors.
Resolution
- Clear the plugins cache using the directions at How to clear Confluence plugins cache. If this doesn't work, then it's likely that there is a corrupted plugin in the database, so you'll need to try the next step.
Identify the plugin referred to in the log (the first line in the example log above), then remove it manually, using the directions at How to manually remove malfunctioning add-ons
