Starting Jira as a service on Ubuntu Server

We just upgraded from 7.13.12 to 8.5.7 and now Jira is not starting as a service.

I am running on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server.

I followed the instructions located here:

Only to find that I still have to manually stop and start the service.

Is there any other advice anyone can give me on this?

Hello Gale,

It's possible that systemd didn't mark the service as startup-enabled. You could check this by running the following command:

systemctl list-units --type service|grep jira.service

If you don't see a line returned with jira.service in it, the service wasn't set to launch at system startup.

To make it launch on startup, run this command:

sudo systemctl enable jira.service
