I installed JIRA with linux installler...hence it's using inbuilt JAVA..but now I am plannig to update to JIRA 6.0 which doesn't support jdk1.6. I have updated PATH and JAVA_HOME for new Jdk 1.7u21 but it doesn't pick newly installed JAVA on JIRA restart..I checked https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Installing+Java and could find no further documentation on this..Please suggest!!

hi bhupesh.

can you please tell me what path is set in /opt/atlassian/jira/bin/permgem.sh

i.e. mine looks like this

#JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/latest"; export JAVA_HOME

just comment out the default..and put in your own.

restart jira after you've done the change and this should be it

Thanks for reply...You are right I missed that entry but after pointing to my newly installed JAVA_HOME

I got "JIRA startup failed, JIRA has been locked." error after restart

"The following plugins are required by JIRA, but have not been started: RPC JIRA Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.ext.rpc), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Project Config Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-project-config-plugin), Atlassian OAuth Admin Plugin (com.atlassian.oauth.admin), Embedded Gadgets Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.embedded), Gadget Dashboard Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.dashboard), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Look And Feel Logo Upload Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.lookandfeel), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - OAuth Consumer SPI (com.atlassian.jira.oauth.consumer), Atlassian REST - Module Types (com.atlassian.plugins.rest.atlassian-rest-module), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - OAuth Service Provider SPI (com.atlassian.jira.oauth.serviceprovider), Gadget Spec Publisher Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.publisher), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - REST Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.rest), Atlassian OAuth Service Provider Plugin (com.atlassian.oauth.serviceprovider), Atlassian OAuth Consumer Plugin (com.atlassian.oauth.consumer), Opensocial Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.opensocial), Gadget Directory Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.directory), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Gadgets Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.gadgets), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Quick Edit Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-quick-edit-plugin)"

For anyone of the plugins it says:

Please Suggest!!

Looks like ma wrong path. What did you change?

Bhupesh Nagda2

vim /instaldir/bin/permgen.sh

#JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/"; export JAVA_HOME

:wq

Also Java is identified by server:

[root@EOSLtest02 bin]# java -version

java version "1.7.0_21"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

[root@EOSLtest02 bin]#

Isn't there a jre folder in your jdk directory?

C.Faysal {CFcon}

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/jre"; export JAVA_HOME

Bhupesh Nagda2

I thought script was adding /bin..anyway I did it...Still the same error

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/jre"; export JAVA_HOME

Thanks

Try clearing plugin caches. Clear the content of .bundled-plugins and .osgi-plugins folder found in <jira-home>/plugins/

Hi..

I have installed JAVA with jdk1.7.0_21on my JIRA server and trying to point JIRA5.2.7 to this JAVA

permgen.sh has

#JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME

When I restart the JIRA(/bin/shutdown.sh and bin/startup.sh) to point to New JAVA JIRA gets locked with the messages posted above....

JAVA is shown correctly in prompt:

[root@EOSLtest02 bin]# java -version

java version "1.7.0_21"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

Thanks

ok i was wondering if jira 5.x supports java7...looks like it does.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/JIRA+5.2+unable+to+be+used+after+upgrading+Java+to+1.7

but i also found this one:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-31670

do you really need jira to run with a JDK?

you may consider updating JIRA to 5.2.8 ?

Clearing the Cache did work for me...thanks guys!! update not required JIRA5.2.7 can run on JAVA 1.7_21
