Possible bug - localhost hardcoded in jira

Alexandru Lungu

I have uninstalled jira and installed it again fresh. Changed all "localhost" config references but it seems that they are hardcoded.

Can I get a version that is known to work ok?

Hi,

did you set the base URL?

Does localhost pop up in the server.xml?

Is it working, when you use the non-proxy ports?

Alexandru Lungu

Yes, of course.

I changed that.

The app is installed on a server without gui - so, no browser - therefore I cannot test if the links with localhost point to real images - and accessing it from another pc implies a different localhost.

Hi,

I just checked on our 8.7.1 Jira with a newly created user. We use an Apache HTTPD reverse proxy in front of Jira handling SSL and other stuff.

Avatars on the mentioned page (WelcomeToJIRA.jspa) are displayed correctly:

So I assume, it might be a configuration / caching issue on your side.

Almost the same situation here - except that I am using nginx instead of apache.

Is there a known incompatibility between jira and nginx?

The thing is that most of jira works ok; only some of the links point to localhost.

I mean, I could add/edit projects/issues etc.

Hi,

I only know of sample configurations for Apache HTTPD. We use an AJP port of Tomcat to get some better performance & handling of connections between HTTPD & Tomcat. I'm not a nginx expert...

I have uninstalled nginx and I tried to use apache; unfortunately there is another problem with apache - I get a mix of http and https links.

Can you help me with a config for apache/jira?

I followed the guidelines Securing your Atlassian applications with Apache using SSL and I get exactly the same problem as I got with nginx.

Hi Alexandru,

Looking at your problem, it may relate to how your own environment is being configured. I would say try to install a vanilla instance without any proxy being configured, or bypass your current proxy configurations to verify this.
