Hello,
Having a hard time starting jira on Ubuntu. Keeps complaining about JIRA home directory. It's there and my vars look correct. Anybody else run into this and know the fix? Poured over the documentation on Atlassian, no dice. Here's the details:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/jre1.8.0_191
$ echo $JIRA_HOME
/opt/jira_home
$ id -a jira
uid=5472(jira) gid=5472(jira) groups=5472(jira)
$ pwd
/opt/jira_home
$ ls -al /opt
