Summary

Problem

Navigating to the Confluence Macro Usage page (/confluence/admin/pluginusage.action) in Confluence 5.10 + results in a 'Page not Found' error:

One of the following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log

1 2 3 4 serviceAction There is no Action mapped for namespace /admin and action name pluginusage -- referer: http://<confluencebaseurl>/confluence/index.action | url: /confluence/admin/pluginusage.action | traceId: d6a684fb580292a3 | userName: username

Diagnosis

Environment

Diagnostic Steps

  • Disable the Scaffolding add-on and confirm that the errors no longer occur.

  • If you do not have the Scaffolding add-on, enable Safe Mode and individually enable add-ons one at a time until the offending add-on is identified.

Cause

An incompatible version of a plugin is installed. The Scaffolding add-on has been identified as causing issues with the Macro Usage page in Confluence 5.10+. At this point, the Scaffolding add-on is the only one that has been identified. A Service Rocket discussion on this can be found here: https://community.servicerocket.com/servicerocket/topics/confluence-macro-usage-doesnt-work

Solution

Resolution

Disable the add-on until the issue has been addressed and the plugin can be updated.
