Environment
- Confluence 6
- SQL Server
Diagnostic Steps
- Ensure the database is set up according to our guide: Database Setup for SQL Server.
- Ensure you are running a supported version of SQL Server: Supported Platforms.
Enable safe mode to see if this is a plugin issue.
Cause
SET NOCOUNT is enabled in SQL Server. This can cause some issues with Atlassian applications: JIRA error caused by SET NOCOUNT in MS SQL server.
Resolution
Setting NOCOUNT to OFF will resolve this issue:
- Connect to the SQL server Confluence database
Run the following:
SET NOCOUNT OFF- Restart Confluence
- Try creating a page/space once more
- Go to
-> General configuration -> Cache management Scroll down and click on 'Flush all'
This will clear out the database cache in Confluence
