Confluence error

asked Mar 18, 2013 in Bug by Spacebiker (120 points)

I have installed the PlantUML on Confluence 4.3.2 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit.

Cheching the version on macro returns the error: dot cannot generated PNG file. Check your dot installation.

Checked the GraphvizUtils.java to see that it is trying to create some temp file for png and fails.

Checking with Procmon it shows it tries to create it in System32 directory.

I run Confluence under System account.

Hello,

You can ignore the test that generates PNG file : except if you use a very old version of PlantUML, this is not relevant, since PlantUML does not generate any temporary file now. (We should remove this test)

Another possible issue is that Confluence does not succeed in launching the java task. Do you have a way to check this ?
