Jira had problems starting up

[Harish Kallem]

Hi Friends,

I'm getting this issue after migrating to JIRA 8.1.0,

Database: JIRA couldn't connect to your database

JIRA failed to establish a connection to your database.
This could be because:

• Your database isn't running
• The configuration of your dbconfig.xml file is incorrect (user, password, or database URL etc.)
• There is a network issue between JIRA and your database (e.g. firewall, database doesn't allow remote access etc.)

I have upgraded the SQL from 2008 R2 to 2012 also.

Can anyone help me with this.

I would expect the stack trace in the catalina.out will tell you exactly what the problem is.
