After upgrade bamboo stuck in redirect loop

[memoryleak]

Upgrading Bamboo from 6.6 to 6.8, with following ocnfiguration for the connector (behind a SSL terminating load balancer):

<Connector
port="8085"
protocol="HTTP/1.1"

maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100"

enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
secure="true"
scheme="https"
proxyName="bamboo.exmaple.com" 
proxyPort="443"
redirectPort="443">
<UpgradeProtocol className="org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol" />
</Connector>

When starting bamboo it loops through some setup pages:

 Any hints on what could be the issue?

[Foong · Accepted solution]

2019-03-04 17:34:25,670 FATAL [localhost-startStop-1] [DefaultBootstrapManager] Unable to run pre-bootstrap upgrade tasks as your support period has ended

Its a bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-20334

Workaround:

1. Shutdown Bamboo
2. Replace the license in the file /home/bamboo/bamboo.cfg.xml with the new license in https://my.atlassian.com , for example:

       <property name="license.string">license line 1
   license line 2
   license line 3
   license line 4
   ...
   license line #</property>
   
   

3. Restart Bamboo

Hi @Foong 

That was exaclty the problem and the workaround worked! Thanks.

Hi @memoryleak ,

2019-03-04 17:34:25,671 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] [lifecycle] Bamboo home directory: /home/bamboo

Please confirm that /home/bamboo is the correct Bamboo home directory specified in 

<bamboo-install-dir>/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties

Locating important directories and files

Hi Edwin, thanks for your reply. The home folder is set correctly:

[ 06:58:56 root@ip-172-16-4-185 atlassian-bamboo-6.8.0 ] cat atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties
## You can specify your bamboo.home property here or in your system environment variables.
bamboo.home=/home/bamboo
[ 06:58:59 root@ip-172-16-4-185 atlassian-bamboo-6.8.0 ] ls /home/bamboo

I've copied over settings from the previous installation (6.6) and until that version it worked by copying over the settings for home folder and the connector.
