Installing Jira along with Confluence

Frank Høvin

I've got Confluence installed on a Ubuntu server. I'm using MySQL for the confluence database, installed on the same server as Confluence.

Now I'd like Jira as well, and I'm wondering if there are any specific concerns, pitfalls etc. I need to be aware of. Is it straigh-forward to install Jira alongside Confluence, on the same server and same database server?

Hello,

you should not have any issues running both Confluence and Jira on the same server, just make sure that you have enough ressources for both, especially memory-wise.

Confluence runs on 8090 port and Jira on 8080 port so you should not have any conflict here.

Both will use difference databases on your MySQL DB, you should create two different users for accessing it though.

Let me know if you have any more questions,

Thanks for the answer :-)

Now I'm just back to the usual, never-ending headaches related to installing and configuring atlassian products...

Since the "advanced" installer never gave me the option to chose database, even though the site states that it should, I have to set up the MySQL db connection manually afterwards. And that's not going to be easy, of course.

I've copied the mysql connector file to the installation /lib folder.

When I'm trying to run the /bin/config.sh tool, I get this lovely error:

No JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable is set - attempting to just run java command
*************************************************************************************************************************************
********** Wrong JVM version! You are running with .. but JIRA requires at least 1.8 to run. **********
*************************************************************************************************************************************

Jira is up and running, and apparently working fine, but this config tool states that that cannot be the case, because it's the wrong version of the JVM. Logical...

Hi Frank,

I think this is because the version you're using is not officially supported but will probably work fine. You'll only have an issue if you try to get support from Atlassian because they will then ask you first to get a supported version to run Jira

For the JRE_HOME/JAVA_HOME error, this is because Jira doesn't find the variable, you can set here using this guide

By the way if it answers your question, please accept the answer with the check marker. It will help other users with similar questions find it

So...I went around this idiotic issue by setting the expected JVM version to "0" in the script.

But, as expected, it doesn't work...

I've placed the mysql driver in the /lib folder, and this is the info I'm entering when running the config.sh tool:

Hostname: localhost
Port: 3306 (default)
Database: jiradb
Username: jirauser@localhost
Password: <the password>
Test connection? Y

Attempting to connect to localhost:3306/jiradb
Loading class `com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. This is deprecated. The new driver class is `com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver'. The driver is automatically registered via the SPI and manual loading of the driver class is generally unnecessary.
*** Connection failed: Could not connect to the DB: Cannot load connection class because of underlying exception: com.mysql.cj.exceptions.WrongArgumentException: Malformed database URL, failed to parse the connection string near '=InnoDB'.

I'd think that the database server is set up correctly, seeing as Confluence already runs on it?

*SIGH*
