Hello @Waqas Subhani

The <bamboo-home>/bamboo.cfg.xml file is missing or has an invalid serverKey property. Are you sure you are pointing your configuration to the right location?

The serverKey and serverId properties are generated during the first Bamboo installation and are used, among other things, to identify the Bamboo server when interacting with Application Links interfaces.

Fix those two properties in your Bamboo configuration file and restart the process.

Check the following link if you would like to have new Ids:
