GeneralRuntimeException: Could not determine database type

Every time I reboot the server I get this error:

If I restart the jira service it works.

System: Ubuntu Server 13.10, Jira 6.2

I worked hard to find out where the problem was: I used a non-ASCII character in the db password (namely an "à"). For an unknown reason this issue occours only during startup. Perhaps it is a problem of postgresql.

Hi Alfio, is JIRA and the database server installed on the same server? I'm asking this, because it may be that when you restart the server, JIRA service may starts faster than the database server service and it may be unavailable when JIRA tries to connect to it at the first moment.

Cheers

Yes they are installed on the same machine. postgresql starts just before jira. Any idea?

I tried with a delay of 30 seconds in the jira service script but the problem remains.

It's not a matter of time. I tried in many ways, i.e. to start-stop-start:

case "$1" in
    start)
        ./start-jira.sh
        sleep 360
        ./stop-jira.sh
        sleep 20
        ./start-jira.sh
        ;;
    stop)
        ./stop-jira.sh
        ;;

When I restart jira manually, either as a root or as a jira user, it works.
