Summary
When performing an upgrade for Confluence, the shutdown port cannot be set to a negative number. The Shutdown port provides an OS neutral way to close a Tomcat application (Confluence, Jira, etc.). This value must be set to a non-negative number.
Environment

Diagnosis
The upgrade process fails before completion. Reviewing the logs, we find the following:

The shutdown port is using an invalid port number.
Solution
Update the shutdown port value. The shutdown port can be found at the very top of the server.xml file:
1
2
3
<Server port="7999" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
<Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
.........In order to resolve the port out of range error during an upgrade, we'll have to update the port value of the server.xml file to a non-negative value.
