Jira startup failed - plugins not started

[Benoit JACQUIER]

Hi

After a server reboot, JIRA won't start anymore. I get the following message:

JIRA Startup failed

The following plugins are required by JIRA, but have not been started:

• JIRA Project Config Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-project-config-plugin)
• Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Global Issue Navigator (com.atlassian.jira.jira-issue-nav-plugin)
• Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Quick Edit Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-quick-edit-plugin)
• Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - REST Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.rest)

Here is an extract of the log:

This error usually occurs when your plugin imports a package from another bundle with a specific version constraint and either the bundle providing that package doesn't meet those version constraints, or there is no bundle available that provides the specified package.

I have already tried all the hints in https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/troubleshooting-jira-startup-failed-error-394464512.html but with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Hey,

Thanks for your answer.

I had already tried this but with no success.

I've just installed the last JIRA software version (7.3.2) - I was previously using 7.1.8 - and it fixed my issue !

Hey Benoit,

Please try these steps

1. Stop JIRA Service

Browse through JIRA Data Directory (C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA\plugins)
Make sure you enable to see hidden folders as .osgi-plugins and .bundled plugins will be there as hidden

If its a Linux environment, you can do

ls -al /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/plugins
rm -r .osgi-plugins
rm -r .bundled-plugins

3. Remove / Archive Old Application log files

mv /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/log/atlassian-jira.log /home/jira

This is to make sure you get a fresh and new log after starting JIRA.

4. Start JIRA Service.

You can also foreground JIRA Service to see what exactly is the error monitoring catalina.out

cd /opt/atlassian/jira/bin
./start-jira.sh -fg

For Windows
use Command Prompt 
cd <JIRA Install Directory>\bin
start-jira.bat /fg

Once you get info on logs, if it was run as foreground process, stop JIRA , fix the issue or post the log file here so we can better troubleshoot and later you can start JIRA Service (background)
