Cause

Confluence daily summary email is disabled due to corrupted index file in <Confluence-Home>index directory as it requires the popularity data from Confluence contents (stores in <Confluence-Home>index/edge) folder in order to work well.

Workaround

  1. Shutdown Confluence.

  2. Ensure that the user running Confluence has full read/write privileges to the <Confluence-Home> directory.

  3. Remove the <Confluence-Home>/index directory.

    ⚠️ Do note that the popularity data of Confluence contents will be lost.

  4. Restart Confluence.

  5. Perform a Content Index Administration to rebuild the index.
