How to access JIRA externally using XAMPP

Christopher Littlewood

Hello,

I am still pretty new at all this. I have XAMPP installed on the computer I wish to run JIRA on. I was reading that you can use Appache to allow external access to JIRA and I noticed that JIRA requires MySQL. If I wanted to run JIRA through those services (Using XAMPP), do I need to install JIRA to the htdocs folder in the XAMPP directory? Or am I fully misunderstanding everything?

Thanks in advance
Chris

Why not install JIRA separately and then point your Apache HTTP from your XAMPP to JIRA - with the XAMPP database behind JIRA.

You can certainly give it a try :-) .

I haven't tried it - just a thought.

I did think about that but I would have no clue on how to do that. I am really new to all this. Still at university and they wont teach us how to set JIRA up. If we want to use it, we need to figure it out.

You know Chris - If I had been you , I'd start with simple JIRA installation.

1) Try doing a standalone installation - JIRA has Application Server( Apache Tomcat) and Internal Database( H2) that comes bundled , so both get installed automatically with it,

2) Next - try using External DB that comes with XAMPP. I am assuming that if you have JIRA database created already in your XAMPP with corresponding schema - user. Try connecting your JIRA to this database now.

Connecting to external DB is pretty simple - just dbconfig.xml file and details of DB as its content. But do ensure that Database and Schema is ready before hand.

3) Apache HTTP Server can be done last

I have tried doing the basic installation and then linking it with a db that I created for it with the corresponding user. When I change it to use mysql in JIRA, it just says no sql driver found.

After you've downloaded it - place it in /lib folder under your JIRA Installation directory.

Restart JIRA and try configuration one more time,

You need to place just the .jar file not the whole folder :-)

Thanks, that worked for getting the db set up. I still cannot access Jira publicly using my (pulic-ip:8080). I have added port forwarding on my gateway for port 8080. Is there something I need to do with Appache to get this working?

Hello Chris - I am not well versed in Apache HTTP so I cannot say much here with confidence.

But I can be of some assistance based on my style of configuration.

Have you done any setup on Apache HTTP ? started anywhere ?
