Moving Jira Home Directory from C to D

unknown

Hi guys,

our Jira Installation and Home directory is location in C:, which is a problem, its taking more

and more space everyday, so now we have a installed a new drive and I want to move

Application Data from C to D.

Thats how it looks right now.

C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA

I want to move Application Data folder to

What is the best and riskfree method of doing that? I have read some article where people talk about breaking some sorts of permissions.

I want step by step guide to do it properly.

Best Regards

Zali

Yes, you do need to be careful with permissions, ideally you should use a copy that preserves them identically.

Stop Jira
Copy the directory and its contents to the new place (this is keeping a backup in case things go wrong)
Set the ownership and permissions to the same as the old one if the copy process changes them
Rename the old directory (to ensure the new one is in use when you restart)
Edit the <Jira install>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties
Restart Jira and check everything is working
If it is, then delete the old renamed directory
