I have Jira 7.4.1 installed on a Windows 2008 R2. I recently updated Java to 8u152 and now the Jira service will not start. I have removed the old service and installed the new service using the service.bat file. when I try to start the service I get the error, service-specific error code 1.
I have had this issue with Confluence and it was an issue of the service not complied against the correct java version.
I have checked the Java_home and Jre_home and run the configure and check-java and they all run with good checks.
Thanks
