What is the correct method to run the Bitbucker server upgrade on Linux?

Alastair Bain
Alastair Bain Jan 08, 2017

When running the Bitbucker Server installer to upgrade an existing instance, it complains if I don't run via sudo (since it then wouldn't be able to install as a service), but if I do, the installer changes the ownership of all the Bitbucket files to root, resulting in the service failing to start as it can't access the files. Am I just running the installer incorrectly?

It also does not update the service/init script to point to the new version. The installer could at least warn that this is a required manual step.

We do not using the installer under Linux, but maybe you must call the installer with the sudo -u altbitbucket option. Than the installer is running as user atlbitbucket.
