Hi Johannes,

The Atlassian-confluence.log files should have a more detailed information on the upgrade failure. If you are unable to pinpoint the reason why the upgrade failed in the logs, I suggest to get in touch with the Atlassian support so we can investigate the root cause.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Yes, it means your upgrade has failed and you need to revert to the backup you took before you ran the upgrade.

Preserve the log files before you roll back - you will want to read them to find out why the upgrade failed.

In which Directory will I find the respective log file?

Unless you have reconfigured it, you will find it under the "home directory" you set for confluence, beneath /logs Should be called atlassian-confluence.log

I can find these SEVERE errors in a log-file: wrong JDBC-Driver? SEVERE: The web application [] registered the JDBC driver [org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver] but failed to unregister it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the JDBC Driver has been forcibly unregistered.

Hmm, well, that is a problem, but it's an issue as the server is shutting down - you need to concentrate on the upgrade errors.
