Solution
Checking if Confluence is up
Once we started Confluence using one of the steps above, we can check if it finished starting by using the following steps:
Go to <confluence-home>/logs and open the atlassian-confluence.log file on any text editor.
On that file, search for the phrase "Confluence is ready to serve"
With the above being the case, Confluence is up and running and its UI should now be accessible.
