I am trying to stop confluence through ./stop-confluence.sh but it is showing error like this "PID file found but no matching process was found. Stop aborted." so I try to kill that process with "kill -9 pid" but it showing that "PID: no process found". Can anyone please give me any idea what is going wrong with the process.

You can list the process and grep confluence and kill it like this ps -ef|grep confluence and then using pid kill it kill -9 2132
