After upgrade Jira 6.4 to Jira Software 7 show me error

Harold Fritz October 29, 2015

I can't run JIRA Software 7 after upgrade it from 6.4. If I try to load any page of new installation, it show me the 500 error. Now I have my clients without service.

This is the log:

We are having the same program, we've went as far as to remove all the plugins from the system. Still no luck.

We face the same issue. We deleted all the incompatible plugins but still face this issue. We do not see any "failed plugin report" anymore but still get the below error:

Caused by: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()Lcom/atlassian/crowd/embedded/api/User;
