Unable to install plugins using MS SQL due to transaction log exceptions
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.
