Problem

When attempting to install Confluence plugins while using MS SQL you may receive this error in atlassian-confluence.log:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: The transaction log for database  'confluence' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see  the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

Cause

The transaction log is set at a specific size and is unable to expand as needed.

Resolution

Setting the transaction log to have an auto-growth option instead of 'NONE' should resolve the issue. You may also need to set a larger initial size.  Please see this support article from Microsoft for more information on tweaking this setting.
