Configure JIRA in a /jira context

Question

Hi. I've installed JIRA 5.0.6 in http://server:8080 and everything works fine. I've made the installation using the installer for Linux 64bits. Now, I need to have JIRA deployed in /jira context (http://server:8080/jira). I was reading that this is made by defining a Context in server.xml I've modified server.xml (/opt/atlassian/jira/conf/server.xml) and added the next line within section: I've restarted JIRA but when I do http://server:8080/jira I get: Not Found (404) /jira Could not find what you were looking for. Maybe you should raise an issue. What am I doing wrong? Regards. Alberto

The path needs to be "/jira" not just "jira"

@gareth - Don't walk away just yet. Sometimes setup issues come up that can make it frustrating but Answers will get you thru it. Are you having the same issue? If not start a new question and post your logs or other info that can help us help you debug. If all else fails shoot me an email if you want me to take a look (support@praecipio.com).

@aocana - Building on Joris' answer look in your logs to ensure that jira started up correctly. The "false/"> bit likely caused jira to fail to startup so even tho the process is running (as shown by ps aux) JIRA itself has not started.
