Bamboo first start NoClassDefFoundError HttpUtils

[Tom Dostalik]

Just downloaded latest Bamboo package (5.13.1) for linux and installed Oracle JDK 1.8u101.

Extracted into installation folder (myhome/bamboo-installdir), changed the Bamboo home dir (to myhome/bamboo-home) so I have separate folders for each. Now I run installdir/bin/start-bamboo.sh and the Tomcat starts within 10secs.

My JAVA_HOME points to /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_101, java is configured to be run from /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_101/bin/java

However when I try to acces serverip:8085 I get server 500 error giving me following stack trace.

Anyone knows what is wrong?

Looks like a corrupted install. Try redownloading and make sure to use GNU tar to unpack the archive.

Thanks, redownload helped.
