I have downloaded and unzipped v7.8.0 of JIRA
Do I need to edit a file to tell the new JIRA where my home directory and data files are located?
If so, how do I do that?
Dear @Doug Kozar,
yes, you have to edit one or more files, depending on your previous configuration. Best you go through the "Upgrade Notes" that are always provided, when a new release was done.
Please come back, if you need more information.
So long
Thomas
To point to your home-directory you will need to change :
<jira-application-dir>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties
To change jvm memory settings you will need to change:
<jira-application-dir>/bin/setenv
In the following links you will find JIRA most important directories. Maybe you will need to change one or other depending on your how your installation was setup.

As you run the installer - it gives you an option to choose what your installation directory and home directory is.
You are doing an upgrade - run the installer , it prompts you to verify your current directories. You can change or accept what it displays.
This is before upgrade starts - so dont worry , you can cancel the window there and discontinue. Or specify the correct paths and continue.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
