Diagnosis
- Clear plugin cache
- Check that there's enough heap memory allocation by configuring the system properties
Cause
Confluence is running on an incompatible Apache Tomcat server.
Resolution
- Switch to a compatible version of Apache Tomcat (see the supported platforms document for your version of Confluence).
