Is there a way to configure JIRA on FREEBSD without any X11 component ?

Question

I'm trying to install JIRA on a freebsd 9.0 that has no X11 component, when I try to run configure.sh, I'm getting this: DB config file '/home/jira/jira-data/dbconfig.xml' is not created yet - loading database settings as blank. Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it. at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:159) at java.awt.Window.(Window.java:406) at java.awt.Frame.(Frame.java:402) at java.awt.Frame.(Frame.java:367) at javax.swing.JFrame.(JFrame.java:163) at com.atlassian.jira.configurator.gui.ConfiguratorFrame.(ConfiguratorFrame.java:51) at com.atlassian.jira.configurator.Configurator.startGui(Configurator.java:53) at com.atlassian.jira.configurator.Configurator.main(Configurator.java:40) Is there a template file I can use to set-up my database and stuff ? I didn't find anything helpful anywhere.... thanks.

thanks for your reply but I opened the config.sh file and it doesn't seem to have much in there. Also, I don't think disabling the awt header will solve me problem, I mean, I won't be able to see any GUI thing still....

Can you edit the configure.sh to add -Djava.awt.headless=true to the JAVA_OPTS? I haven't used the GUI configurer but I thought it also did have commandline option

That's what I'd check first anyway
