Can I regenerate server.xml file in Jira 7.1.4

Bose Kamineni

I started Jira and the URL was working as http://<localhost>:8080

I made change to server.xml but forgot to take copy of the original file- change was make the URL work as http://<localhost>:8080/jira

I suppose that I might have done some thing wrong.

When I try to stop JIRA catalina.out had error message-

15-Apr-2016 14:35:19.882 WARNING [main]org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load Catalina.start using conf/server.xml: Element type "Context" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
15-Apr-2016 14:35:19.887 SEVERE [main]org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester.fatalError Parse Fatal Error at line 120 column 33: Element type "Context" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:/opt/atlassian/jira/conf/server.xml; lineNumber: 120; columnNumber: 33; Element type "Context" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

I reverted back the changes and now the server.xml has

in line 120- 

<Context path=""docBase="${catalina.home}/atlassian-jira" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">

but I am not able to start JIRA

 

I see the error message in catalina.out  in /opt/atlassian/jira/logs

15-Apr-2016 15:23:29.504 WARNING [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load Catalina.start using conf/server.xml: Element type "Context" must be f ollowed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

Thanks,

It's malformed xml, and the error message is pretty much the right answer.  Look carefully at the <Context line - you seem to have closed it with > which means "more detail to come, followed by a </Context> to end it".  Then, I suspect you haven't given it those details or the end tag.  If there is nothing to go into the context, try ending it with /> instead to say "here's all the context information in one line"
