Unable to start bitbucket due to java config mismatch

[Nitish Kumar]

Hello,

I am having bitbucket and jira insatlled on my ec2-instance on aws. I was trying to have ssl certificate to my jira installation where I followed the guide and during the process I defined environment variable to:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/"

But when I restarted the bitbucket server it throw me error:

Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined

Edit set-jre-home.sh and define JRE_HOME




Startup has been aborted

 I saw the file set-jre-home.sh where logically it should check /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/ directory and jre folder inside it, which it was unable to fetch. I'm now stuck with this. How can I fix it?

You do not need to include '/bin' in JAVA_HOME path. It should be

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/"

  Also after setting environment variable, have you logged in again/ or have you sourced file in which you have set environment variable.

To check if JAVA_HOME is set,

$ echo $JAVA_HOME

Check output of this command, if it is empty, and have you set environment variable in '~/.bashrc' or '~/.bash_profile' source that file or re-login to server.

$ source ~/.bashrc
OR

$ source ~/.bash_profile
