"Exception bootstrapping cluster:Shared home directory is not configured correctly" Error during Confluence Data Center startup
This article applies to Confluence Data Center 5.6 or later.
Symptoms
Confluence Data Center fails to startup, with the following error in the console:
2014-08-06 21:10:42,588 ERROR [localhost-startStop-1] [atlassian.config.bootstrap.DefaultAtlassianBootstrapManager] init Home
is not configured properly: com.atlassian.config.ConfigurationException: Exception bootstrapping cluster:Shared home directory
is not configured correctly: location=C:\reproduce\confluence-standalone-cluster-distribution-5.6-m8-cluster\sharefresh,
exists=false, isDirectory=false, canRead=false
Cause
Confluence is unable to read/write into the shared home directory, that is defined in the node's ConfluenceHome/confluence.cfg.xml
. Example:
<property name="confluence.cluster.home">/home/foo/sharehome</property>
Resolution
Identify the path to the shared home directory, as per defined in the node's
ConfluenceHome/confluence.cfg.xml
, in theconfluence.cluster.home
parameter as per the one shown above- Make sure that the node is able to read/write to that directory, and that the directory exists (either modify the filesystem permission, or create the directory manually)
