I didn't uninstalled Jira, I deleted both folders! Now can't install it under 8080 port

Question

Hello,

I made a mistake, because I wasn't able to uninstall it via terminal by entering 'uninstall' command.. so I went to delete both Jira folders in opt/atlassian and var/atlassian..

When successfully deleted both Atlassian folders, I tryed to reinstall it again and the problem is now that I can't install it under the port 8080, says its already in use! Also the port 80 is in use, I tried different ones but let's say I want again under 8080. What should I do to clean previous bad uninstallation?

Also, my focus is to have a domain under new Jira, so would be cool to install it under 80 port as I've heard must be under 80 port in order to have a domain later?

Regards,

Veljko

Hi Marcos,

Thank you for your reply, i used to find out the PID by your commands and kill the process, then install Jira successfully.

Best,

Hi,

Maybe there are other processes or stuck old processes running on 8080.

Try to run this

$ netstat -tulpn

It will show you which process is using a port.

Then identify if port 8080 is being used by any process.

If it stills being used and its used by Java, you can use the next command to see which java processes are up:

$ ps -aux | grep java

If one of the Java processes running matches the PID of the process that is running on 8080, that's the one you need to know about.
