Hi

I have just installed Jira on a Amazon Linux AMI and setup went fine and everything but now when I access it I have two questions:

  • There are some CSS (?) issues which makes it hard/impossible to navigate. For example the navigation is not displayed correct. You see this directly when you visit the website.
  • When I installed this the default base URL included 8080 and I kept it there, my question is if I always need to access Jira through this port. Shouldn't I be able to access it through the regular port 80 and therefore exclude the port number in the base url?

You can visit the intallation through http://ec2-46-137-128-85.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8080

Thanks for your help!

You can, but you might run into the issue of needing root privileges since you are using a port number less than 1024 which normal require special permissions to those numbers.

If you are trying to hide the port number on the url, you do that through your dns server which can map url for you.

bugs.xxx.yyy.com maps to bugs.yyy.xxx.com:8080
