Reboot Jira Server On CentOS 7 (64-bit)

[Juan José Fuentealba]

Good morning everyone! I have an instance of Jira Software installed on my local server (on premises), this server has version 7 of CentOS and I need to restart this server, my question is, do the Jira services start automatically? Do I have to upload them manually? ?, where can I review that?, in case of uploading them manually, how should I do it? I ask this question, since I have to administer the server but there is no documentation on what is installed.

Thank you so much.

Stay tuned.

Hello @Juan José Fuentealba 

It depends on how you installed Jira. Did you install from the installer (.bin) or did you install manually from an archive file (.TAR.GZ)?

I installed manually and then I run Jira as a systemd service to make sure the app launches after a server reboot. https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/run-jira-as-a-systemd-service-on-linux-979411854.html

@Tim PerraultThank you very much for your answer! Sorry for the question, is there a way to check how it was installed? Thank you.

You could run through the history to see what commands were used, but since it's not automatically starting it shouldn't really matter.

You can check to see if the service exists on server by checking all the services

systemctl status

I would just go through the instructions in the kb article and try to get it working that way. Once you can start, stop, and reload you can test to make sure the service comes up after a reboot by rebooting. With all this said, please make sure this is a test environment where you can bring the service up and down.
