I deleted the Plugins folder under

C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA\plugins

Restarted Jira, which automatically recreated this folder

then re-installed the 3 additional 3rd party plugins

All is well now. Thanks Manon and Danyal for your help.

Hello @IT DEPARTMENT,

Have you checked this thread: JIRA access problem after update? @Mizan suggestions should help you investigate:

Seems like a memory issue , may i know if the file system has enough free space and what amount of heap is allocated to JIRA (i.e. the Xmx defined in <installation>/bin/setenv.sh)
Try increasing the plugin wait time to 300 . (I thought this was fixed but this is still an open issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-60212) https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/jira-applications-system-plugin-timeout-while-waiting-for-add-ons-to-enable-212173447.html

Hope this helps,

- Manon

Please insert the following into your JIRA application startup parameter using the methods mentioned here - Setting Properties and Options on Startup::

-Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300

(warning) Please restart the instance after adding the parameter in order to apply the changes to your JIRA applications.

+1 for support request.

IT DEPARTMENT_ctnjwm

Thanks Danyal. I had added -Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300 through the Java config tool and the issue did not get resolved.

IT DEPARTMENT_ctnjwm

Dear Manon,

Minimum memory is set to 384 and max to 1024 using the CONFIG tool in the BIN folder. Also, -Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300 was added to the startup options. The problem still persists.

Thanks.

Did you increase the memory as well? Some plugins require too much memory.

-Restore a working backup, disable all addons, run the upgrade again. Activate each plugin one by one. Uninstall teh guilty party.

IT DEPARTMENT_ctnjwm

Tried with 512 min and 1024 max and still the issue persists.

Also, I disabled the Security tool on the Server.

The working backup did not work either. It was 7.10.2 with the old DB and old DATA files from the ZIP backup did not work either.

How do you disable the Add-ons? Based on the docs, you cannot disable add-ons when running under Windows as a service. You cannot launch in Safe Mode. Would you please point me in the right direction for a way to disable add-ons?

IT DEPARTMENT_ctnjwm

Just disabled the Jira service and attempted to launch it from the CMD Prompt as follows:

start-jira.bat /disablealladdons /disableaddons=com.atlassian.jira.jira-issue-nav-plugin:com.atlassian.jira.jira-quick-edit-plugin

JIRA still wants to load the two problematic add-on plugins.

I got the following error: in the Tomcat Java
