Hi Sharan,

It might be better to start a new question since this appears to be a completely different problem from the original post.  That said, Jira has a couple of different ways you can start it, and these vary based on your host operating system.

Port 8005 is the control port that is used to start/stop the application.  However that is not required to be able to use Jira, it just helps to facilitate smooth and controlled shutdowns.  For that reason I think we should ignore that detail for the time being.

If your $JIRAINSTALL/conf/server.xml has a connector bound to port 8080, then that's the port you would expect to connect on for web traffic.  I recommend checking out Start and Stop Jira applications.  It covers both Linux and Windows systems on the ways in which you can start and stop the application. If Jira is not being started as a service, then I don't expect Jira to start when the operating system starts up.

Try the steps on that page to start Jira.

Regards,

Andy

When i checked Catalina.log it says: "Could not contact [localhost:[8005]]. Tomcat may not be running."

Sorry for the confusion, I am using Jira Server and thank you for the OAuth link. I was able to successfully configure OAuth credentials with the link i sent, i didn't follow all the steps though.

Now, I am facing to another issue. Whenever i shut down or restart my system i cannot access Jira server at: http://localhost8080 on my system. It says "This site can't be reached". I don't know if this issue is due to some to Jira or due to my system settings.

Please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks
