Hi, are the following assumptions correct? * Jira application installation directory = Jira installation directory * Jira installation directory = C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA (default path using the windows installer) The article https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/jira-application-installation-directory-938847745.html confuses me a little bit. Thank you for your help in advance. Best regards Frank Werhan

Jira installation directory: Path and naming conventions

Hi,

are the following assumptions correct?

Jira application installation directory = Jira installation directory
Jira installation directory = C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA (default path using the windows installer)

The article

confuses me a little bit.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Frank,

The first point is correct, however the second point is not. Jira will make use to two different directories:

The Jira installation directory
And the Jira Home directory

In this case, the installation directory is where Jira is installed as an application, (and where the startup files are). However your specific Jira data like user plugins, attachments, avatars, indexes, etc, are all stored in the Jira Home directory. In this case, the C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA is a default path to keep the $JIRAHOME directory on a windows environment.
