Symptoms

  • Upon creating a space, the space type dialog appears but seems to load forever / freezes.

  • The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:

1 2014-03-25 11:15:47,997 ERROR [http-8090-24] [plugin.descriptor.web.ConfluenceWebInterfaceManager] getHtml Failed to render web panel: com.atlassian.plugin.web.descriptors.DefaultWebPanelModuleDescriptor$ContextAwareWebPanel@55fe6a46

Cause

MySQL server is configured to have NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO mode to be enabled.

Resolution

  1. Open the MySQL configuration file my.ini (Windows) or my.cnf (Unix)

  2. Find sql_mode and delete NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO. For example, if you have the following...

    1 sql_mode = NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO

    ...change it to...

    1 sql_mode = NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER
  3. Save the file and restart MySQL server
