This problem affects customers who have previously upgraded the Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager - Plugin License Storage plugin. When a system plugin is upgraded via UPM, Confluence considers it to be a "user installed" plugin and stores data in the PLUGINDATA table. As the Plugin License Storage plugin (com.atlassian.upm.plugin-license-storage-plugin) has been unbundled from Confluence 6.x, it fails to load the PLUGINDATA entry.
Notes
This issue has been resolved in Confluence 6.2.4 and Confluence 6.3.1, see
Workaround
Always back up your data before performing any modifications to the database. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
To resolve this problem you'll need to remove the entry for this plugin manually:
- Stop Confluence.
Check whether there is an entry for this plugin in the
PLUGINDATAtable:select * from PLUGINDATA where PLUGINKEY='com.atlassian.upm.plugin-license-storage-plugin';Delete the bad entry in PLUGINDATA by executing the following DELETE statement:
delete from PLUGINDATA where PLUGINKEY='com.atlassian.upm.plugin-license-storage-plugin';- Clear the Confluence plugin cache - see How to clear Confluence plugins cache for more info.
- Start Confluence.
