Starting cluster Node1 immediately shuts down after the startup

Question

We have been operating a single, independent server under a datacenter license. Our goal is now to set it up as a cluster, utilizing two nodes. However, we are encountering an issue where Jira initiates and then promptly shuts down. The log files don't provide much clarity on this matter. Here is what we did. Under Windows Server 2016 Standard & Jira Software 8.20.19. Copied the directories to \jira-data\data\jira-shared * data * plugins * logos * import * export * caches * keys cluster.properties jira.node.id = node1 jira.shared.home = \\jira-data\data\jira-shared atlassian-jira.log 2024-01-05 21:18:38,191-0500 localhost-startStop-1 INFO [c.a.jira.startup.LauncherContextListener] Startup is complete.

It is the same answer - something is already using that port

Possibly not Jira, but the simplest thing to do is look at what is using your ports.  On a good OS, ss, or netstat -plant run on the command line will tell you.

I did observe that error, but initially, I believed it was an unrelated issue when attempting to shut down. However, after removing the cluster.properties file, the Jira server successfully starts.

In cluster mode, the Windows service remains in the running state, yet it continuously attempts to shut down the process.  I do think the port 8005 is something I would need to look into but I doubt it's related to cluster.

Thanks for your inputs though.

Hi,

The error message is clear -

Failed to create server shutdown socket on address [localhost] and port [8005] (base port [8005] and offset [0])
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: NET_Bind

Something on that machine is already running a service on port 8005.

You need to identify what it is (it may be that your Jira service is already running!) and either stop and disable it, or configure it or your new service to run on different ports.
