Installed Jira and Confluence as a service, but they don't start on startup

joe_fenton

I have installed Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket servers on a Ubuntu server. I have installed them all as services and selected that they should startup automatically. 

Bitbucket starts on startup, but Jira and Confluence do not. I have had a bit of a look as to why, but I can't seem to find any clear help for this

If you try

systemctl enable jira

systemctl start jira

what do you get?  If it fails, it should give you a bit more info about why (although it can be quite cryptic).  If that appears to work, then it's likely to have run the startup scripts.

However, I also suspect the installers for Jira and Confluence are a bit behind the ones for bitbucket - I guess you might just get "unknown service" because they've only created /etc/init.d scripts, rather than systemd services.  If that's the case, I don't actually know what the best thing to do is (but I created service files for them that pointed to the /etc/init.d scripts, which seems to work fine)
