cannot get confluence to run on AWS EC2 Ubuntu 14.04

After I attempted to install the confluence 5.8.6,

I followed mainly the steps in https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Installing+Confluence+on+Linux+from+Archive+File#InstallingConfluenceonLinuxfromArchiveFile-2.InstallJava and https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Start+Confluence+Automatically+on+Linux

I used confluence as user and run . confluence-start.sh inside /usr/local/confluence/current/bin/

Almost immediately, I get the following message and my user account got switched out of confluence and back into ubuntu

[email protected]:/usr/local/confluence/current/bin$ . start-confluence.sh

To run Confluence in the foreground, start the server with start-confluence.sh -fg
executing as current user

confluence@xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:/home/ubuntu$ cd /usr/local/confluence
confluence@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:/usr/local/confluence$ ls -la

I then tried ip address:8090. I get nothing.

Please advise.

UPDATE

I have switched to java 8. Same issue
