Changed Home Directory Location and facing indexing problem

Question

Hi there,

We have changed Home directory location from '/Var' directory to '/opt' directory due to insufficient Storage. We have also updated location in '.properties' file but at last it resulted in some index problem. we can find the updated/current location i.e opt directory every where on UI except one place i.e at 'jira.path.attachments'.

PFA for updated Locations

Here is the location where it is not updated!!

Hi @Rilwan Ahmed 
Sorry for late reply but the way you have mentioned is with out moving home directory location. But as I told I have already changed Home directory location from /var to /opt. Now I want to update 'jira.path.location' as I have attached screenshot. Let me know if you knows any work around after changing location.

Thanks

Hi @mohammed aamer khan ,

From jira version 5.2 and beyond, policy was enforced and JIRA will refuse saving attachments if a custom path is defined. Create a symbolic link on your server from the default attachment path (<JIRA_HOME>/data/attachments) to the path where you want your attachments to be stored.

Steps to do is mentioned in https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/change-the-attachments-directory-location-for-jira-server-237569020.html
