Checking if Confluence is up
Once we started Confluence using one of the steps above, we can check if it finished starting by using the following steps:
- Go to <confluence-home>/logs and open the atlassian-confluence.log file on any text editor.
- On that file, search for the phrase "Confluence is ready to serve"
With the above being the case, Confluence is up and running and its UI should now be accessible.
