Jira Core Server 7.1 Trial

[Nessma El Missiry]

Hi,

I've installed the JIRA Core's one month trial version, but it's failing to load cause it says "Atlassian JIRA is starting up, Running system startup tasks ..." and it's the same message for 8 hrs now. 
Kindly note that i've uninstalled it and re-installed it again as a troubleshoot step, but still same results.

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Thanks

I ran in that problem too. I have version 7.1.9 and have been used JIRA for several years now. I have an up to date license too.

I ended up stopping and restarting JIRA 3 or 4 times and it finally worked. Usually, it takes about 2 minutes to get started, with the CPUs pegged at 400% (even though our machine has only 2 CPUs). Once that process is over, I check to see whether it succeeded or not.

On my last try, I used the startup.sh directly, as the JIRA user, to see whether it would spit out some errors. I did not trust the systemd journal 100%... And that's when it started to work again.

sudo su - jira
cd /opt/atlassian/jira
bin/startup.sh

The normal output with no errors appeared and a couple of minutes later I could access the system, finally.

That one-off process can take a couple of minutes, even up to 20 on underpowered servers, but not 8 hours.  That means it's gone wrong.  What do the log files say?  (Catalina.out is worth a look, but the main one is atlassian-jira.log in jira-home/logs)

This is a copy of the first couple of line of atlassian-jira.log:

Um, that's the healthy bit.  Might be useful later, but what does the log say the problem is?  Where is it stopping?

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I had to wait cause i was out of points.

There should be more, that's implying it's stopped dead.  What does catalina.out say?  Is the CPU and memory being used by the process?

[Nessma El Missiry]

I've attached the catalina log.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

That looks healthy too.  What is the CPU doing?
