extraction of tar.gz for jira giving error

[Gyan Jee]

Dear Team,

Have downloaded the tar.gz file from atlassian download page and while extracting it, failing with following error :

a302-6434-0793.ldn.swissbank.com> tar -xvzf atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5.tar.gz
atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5-standalone/bin/configtest.sh
atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5-standalone/bin/setclasspath.sh
atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5-standalone/bin/version.sh
atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5-standalone/bin/digest.sh
atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5-standalone/bin/startup.sh
atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5-standalone/bin/daemon.sh
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

All related permissions are in place and still it is throwing error. Please suggest.

Warm Regards,

Just to add on here, you can also get the md5 hash of the file by adding .md5 to the download url - example:

https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira-software-8.5.5.tar.gz.md5

Then in your terminal, use the md5sum command against your downloaded archive file and compare the hashes to make sure they match.

Thanks Daniel.

The extract for 8.5.4 is working fine here . Have raised a ticket with Atlassian to comment regarding 8.5.5 extract.

Warm Regards,

Very odd, the 8.5.5 is working fine for me.

This usually tells us that your downloaded copy of the file is corrupted.

Could you try re-downloading it ?(looking for errors while it downloads, and checking that at least the size matches the published file)

Thanks Nic for the feedback.

I did the download 3 times and everytime, it is throwing same error.

Warm Regards,
