JIRA startup failed

Hi,

Jira failing to start after an upgrade from 7.13 to 8.0.1.

I have checked permissions, database connection.. all seems to be correct. Not seeing any info in the log file to trace the issue. Here's the log:

Hi @saif-mahmud ,

the only error I see here is " Startup check failed. ", there is nothing else in the logs.

Can you give a bit more details on how you did the upgrade ? What steps did you follow ?

Thanks,

--Alexis

Hi @saif-mahmud - have a look at the catalina and localhost logs, you will find the reason why your instance is getting locked. Location of the logs are in ...\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA\logs if you are using Windows, if you are using Linux is /var/atlassian/JIRA/logs.

Hi @Alexis Robert ,

Thanks for looking into this.

I have dowloaded the latest version of Jira core and selected upgrade an existing installation option. It went well without any error. I have some proxy and https settings in server.xml config file, I transferred those over to new server.xml and tried to start jira instance. But it kept failing.

Hi @Mihai Schwarz

localhost log file is empty. Nothing there.

catalina log has this:

Hi @saif-mahmud - looks like you have some memory leaks.

These articles should help you fix the issue: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/jira-applications-crash-due-to-outofmemoryerror-java-heap-space-191069.html?_ga=2.220845208.189573661.1535439702-1125479650.1525245948

Hi @Mihai Schwarz

I have doubled Min and Max memory limit. Also, GC seems to be active and no error in GC logs. Jira still failing to pass start up check.
