Stash install not working.

[Daniel Grimes]

I've just succesfuly installed Confluence and JIRA, but I can't install Stash. I got through the process and get

Success! You can now use Stash at the following address:

http://localhost:7990/

However, after unblocking that port and navigating to the URL, I never get anything back. I've tried changing the java version from OpenJDK to Oracle's Java. Same symptoms. Any advice?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

AH! I know this one!

You're using Java 1.8 (early access?), and Stash doesn't support it yet. You need to use Java 1.6 or 1.7 (ideally 1.7).

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Supported+platforms

There is an open feature request for Java 8. We are hoping to add support for it soon.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

"Never get anything back" - timeout? Blank screen?

Have you checked the SELinux settings? What does the log file say?

[Daniel Grimes]

Blank screen. There seems to be no activity associated with the port, so it takes about 2 secs to return "Cannot connect." I'll look at the SELinux now.

[Daniel Grimes]

SE is disabled on the server.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Hmm, so it can't be serving up anything over that port. Does netstat -a tell us it's actually listening?

What does the log file say?

[Daniel Grimes]

ss -ln doesn't show 7990 listening. Which log file would you be referring to?

The stash directory home that I gave it in the config is completely empty.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, so if 7990 isn't listening, the service isn't really starting. Definitely need to look at the stash application log file.

[Daniel Grimes]

Where is that? Like I mentioned, nothing is being put in the directory I created and configured as Stash's home.

Stash installation directory has logs as well, /log/catalina.out says anything?

[Daniel Grimes]

There is no catalina file in log directory.

[Daniel Grimes]

My mistake. I was looking in /var/logs/. catalina.out reads:

Error: Could not find or load main class Products.atlassian-stash-2.11.4.lib.native:.var.atlassian.application-data.stash.lib.native
Java HotSpot (TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

Convert your last comment @Nic and I'll tag it as the approved answer.

[Daniel Grimes]

Installing Java 1.7 worked. I appreciate the help. I ran into another problem as soon as I got stash responding on 7990.

:-)

No harm in trying 8, but if in doubt!

[Daniel Grimes]

I'm installing on CentOS.
