Cannot add user, all the user directories are read-only.

[Lakshmi Sreejith]

Hi All,

Followed all the procedures needed for the JIRA local installation start up, however at the time of "Setup Administrator Account" experiencing the below error.

"Cannot add user, all the user directories are read-only."

1. Used mysql JDBC driver 5.1.48

2. Restarted the JIRA server

Highly appreciated, if I can get the resolution for this issue.

This happened because there were two releases with the same version string "1.7.7-r.203" and "1.7.7-r.205" indicating compatibility with different JIRA versions.

This issue has now been resolved by us.
