Stash - The remote authentication server is not available

[Deleted user]

We migrated our JIRA application from a linux server to a windows server. Then I installed Stash on the windows server. I copied the stash-home folder from the Linux server to the Windows server. I can view the projects on stash but I need to set up the URL and when I try to login as admin I get the message: The remote authentication server is not available. Please try again later.

I tried to upload the log file but the upload didn't work. Here is a section of the log file.

Hi Jeff,

Hopefully someone can help you fix that problem. In the meantime I would suggest raising a support ticket with your logs attached so we can assist you there as well.

Cheers,

Charles
