Bitbucket don't start with service but will start with ./start-bitbucket.sh

Benoit FIEVEZ_9qber9

Hello,

I decided to install the last bitbucket version to my personal VM LAB running on virtualbox and a rockylinux 9.2

I installed without big issues bitbucket and can connect to the web interface on localhost:7990

Because I often turn off this lab and for best practice I decided to run bitbucket as a service as I already did for the Confluence and Jira already install on my VM.

So I created /usr/lib/systemd/system/bitbucket.service

Added this in my file (note that the path is a symbolic link)

[Unit]
Description=Atlassian Bitbucket Server Service
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=bitb
ExecStart=/opt/atlassian/bitbucket/bin/start-bitbucket.sh
ExecStop=/opt/atlassian/bitbucket/bin/stop-bitbucket.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

did a systemctl daemon-reload after

systemctl start bitbucket.service gave me the result below


Job for bitbucket.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bitbucket.service" and "journalctl -xeu bitbucket.service" for details.

systemctl status bitbucket.service gave me this error

Despite having this line JRE_HOME= /usr/lib/jvm/jre-11-openjdk/bin/java

in the file /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/bin/set-jre-home.sh

I defined my JAVA_HOME variable in /etc/profile with thoses lines

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-11-openjdk
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

echo $JAVA_HOME return this

/usr/lib/jvm/jre-11-openjdk

java --version return this


openjdk 11.0.19 2023-04-18 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-11.0.19.0.7-2) (build 11.0.19+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-11.0.19.0.7-2) (build 11.0.19+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

But when I switch manually to my bitucket user "bitb" and run the starting script /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/bin/start-bitbucket.sh bitbucket will start normally

Which I don't undertstand as my service start the same script with the same user

I tried to

reboot the VM
check access right to directories is correct where owner is bitbucket user
comment and uncomment the JRE_HOME variable in the set-jre-home.sh
Modify JAVA_HOME variable and set it to bitbucket user profile

Since the error I get is from thoses line of the set-jre-home.sh script there I guess there is something to do around there

# Uncomment and edit the line below to define JRE_HOME.
# If you use the Bitbucket installer, this value will be automatically set to point to the bundled JRE.
# Once a value is set here, existing JRE_HOME and JAVA_HOME values set in the environment will be overridden and ignored.
JRE_HOME= /usr/lib/jvm/jre-11-openjdk/bin/java

# Otherwise, use an existing installed JDK defined by JAVA_HOME
if [ -z "$JRE_HOME" ]; then
if [ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ] && [ -x "$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java" ]; then
# If JAVA_HOME points to a valid JDK, use its JRE
JRE_HOME="$JAVA_HOME/jre"
elif [ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ] && [ -x "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ]; then
# If JAVA_HOME appears to point to a JRE and not a JDK use this anyway
JRE_HOME="$JAVA_HOME"
fi
fi

# By this line, JRE_HOME should be defined
if [ -z "$JRE_HOME" ]; then
echo "Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined"
echo "Edit set-jre-home.sh and define JRE_HOME"
return 1
fi

In advance thanks for any help in this troubleshooting

I don't think you can have a space after the "=" in

JRE_HOME= /usr/lib/jvm/jre-11-openjdk/bin/java

Can you remove it and try again?

If it's still not working I will take a more in-depth look :-)

Hello Charlie,

Thanks for the answer.

When I remove the space

I got another error

In case someone find this again I found the solution to the problem

Check where your java is installed here on Rocky Linux it will be set in /usr/lib/jvm

[root@localhost bin]# ll /usr/lib/jvm
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 68 Oct 19 14:26 java-11-openjdk-11.0.20.0.8-3.el9.x86_64
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Oct 19 14:28 jre -> /etc/alternatives/jre
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 19 14:28 jre-11 -> /etc/alternatives/jre_11
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 32 Oct 19 14:28 jre-11-openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/jre_11_openjdk
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 40 Aug 2 05:50 jre-11-openjdk-11.0.20.0.8-3.el9.x86_64 -> java-11-openjdk-11.0.20.0.8-3.el9.x86_64
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 Oct 19 14:28 jre-openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/jre_openjdk

The shortest symlink is jre so the directory path will be /usr/lib/jvm/jre

You need to set JRE HOME in /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/bin/set-jre-home.sh

# Uncomment and edit the line below to define JRE_HOME.
# If you use the Bitbucket installer, this value will be automatically set to point to the bundled JRE.
# Once a value is set here, existing JRE_HOME and JAVA_HOME values set in the environment will be overridden and ignored.
JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre

The mistake in previous post was JRE_HOME= /usr/lib/jvm/jre-11-openjdk/bin/java poiting to the application directory directly where the global directory is required.
