Cause

This problem happens due to a bug in version 3.0.25 of the Support Tools Plugin (STP-233).

Workaround

For Confluence:

  1. Make a backup of the database.

  2. Run the following query in the Confluence Database:

    1  select plugindataid, pluginkey, filename, lastmoddate from PLUGINDATA where filename like '%stp%';
  3. Make sure that the query returns only 1 row. Identify the PLUGINDATAID and run the following query to remove the row:

    1 delete from PLUGINDATA where PLUGINDATAID = <PLUGINID>;

    Replace <PLUGINID> with the PLUGINDATAID from the first query

  4. Stop Confluence

  5. Remove the following folders from the Confluence Home Directory:

    • bundled-plugins

    • plugins-cache

    • plugins-osgi-cache

    • plugins-temp

  6. Start Confluence
