Cause
All spaces must have a space description object but in your particular space your Space Description Object is null.
Resolution
To identify if you have a null space description, run this query:
select * from spaces where spacedescid is null;- Note down the space id as you will need it to fix your data.
If you find that
spacedescidis null, you should fix it by running the queries below. You should shutdown Confluence and make a backup of your instance before hand.insert into content values (9999999, 'SPACEDESCRIPTION', null, 1, 'wikiadmin', '2004-11-15 18:17:00.527', 'wikiadmin', '2004-11-15 18:17:00.527', '', null, 'current',XXXX, null, null,null, null, null,null, null, null,null,null); update spaces set spacedescid = 9999999 where spaceid = XXXX;
Replace XXXX with spaceidof the problematic space.Restart Confluence and you should be able to access the space now.
