Where is server.xml and bitbucket.properties files?

Hi,

I just installed Bitbucket (BB) server 6.3.2 via .bin installation. I understand it created user id atlbitbucket and the following directories:

Installation directory: /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/6.3.2

Home directory: /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket

I have read many posts and articles already. I cannot locate both server.xml and bitbucket.properties files.

Can somebody help?

Thank you.

Hi Barry,

server.xml was used before Bitbucket 5.0 and was part of Tomcat, and you could make customization to a number of things in this file, like running Bitbucket behind a proxy, setting the port Bitbucket runs on etc. As of 5.0 Atlassian changed how you make these customizations are performed and introduced bitbucket.properties. You can read more about the switch here, Migrate server.xml customizations to bitbucket.properties.

The bitbucket.properties files is not automatically created when you install Bitbucket, you have to manually create it if you want to make changes to the default properties. The file should be created under <Bitbucket home directory>/shared directory. Bitbucket Server config properties list all the behaviors you can set using this file.

Hi Barry,

I am now seeing bitbucket.properties file.

Contents:

#>*******************************************************

jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver

jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bitbucket

jdbc.user=bitbucketuser

jdbc.password=jellyfish

Is this mean BB is accessing a database called bitbucket using bitbucketuser id?

About the properties file, This is very strange... Here is the directory list from yesterday... I configured the DB yesterday...

root@bitbucket:~# ls -la /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/shared/

Correct, the database BB is using the bitbucket db and connect to it with the bitbucketuser id.

I would highly recommend adding the "The bitbucket.properties files is not automatically created when you install Bitbucket, you have to manually create it if you want to make changes to the default properties. " to the

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/securing-bitbucket-server-with-tomcat-using-ssl-776640127.html#SecuringBitbucketServerwithTomcatusingSSL-configuretomcat

documentation page.
