When I am trying to open JIRA as an administrator with my username and password I am getting Null Pointer Exception. User in portalpage of my db is null, so that anyone can access.

Hi there,

You may want to paste more of the errors displayed in the logs, in order to get a better insight on the issue.

However, after conducting some research, I was able to find the following Atlassian KB article that may or may not related to your current case:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/NullPointerException+when+Authenticating+from+IE

This issue could also be related to mysql being set to ndbcluster. Refer to the link below for more information regarding the known limitations of mysql cluster:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-cluster-limitations.html

In addition, the base url which JIRA referes to, may have been not set which could cause the issue. So in order to manually set the base url, please follow the instructions the following link:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/How+do+I+Manually+Change+The+Base+URL

If the issue still persists,

Please try a fresh installation of the latest JIRA to verify if the problem is still happening, or contact Atlassian Support directly for further assistance.

Regards,

Mahmoud Alaaeldin

You haven't specified what version of JIRA you are on or included enough of the stack trace for me to tell from that. The version of the code I'm looking shouldn't be able to get this NPE.

The IncludeResourcesFilter is doing this:

final String baseUrlFromRequest = JiraUrl.constructBaseUrl(request);
 
if (bannerPreferences.getShowBanner() &amp;&amp; !baseUrl.isEquivalentTo(baseUrlFromRequest))

The NPE happens inside isEquivalentTo when it tries to parse the URL, indicating that baseUrlFromRequest was null. But that came from JiraUrl.constructBaseUrl which does this:

public static String constructBaseUrl(final HttpServletRequest request) {
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    final String scheme = request.getScheme();
    sb.append(scheme);
    sb.append("://");
    sb.append(request.getServerName());
    final int port = request.getServerPort();
    if (!isStandardPort(scheme, port)) {
        sb.append(":");
        sb.append(port);
    }
    sb.append(request.getContextPath());
    return sb.toString();
}

That unconditionally returns a newly built string and also shouldn't be able to return null. The IncludedResourcesFilter hasn't changed since 2013 for JIRA 5.2 and the JiraUrl code is even older.

My best guess is that there is something inconsistent with how your system is installed, such as having overwritten one version of JIRA with another, resulting in multiple copies of some of the libraries, as I don't see anything at the code level that could explain this behaviour.

Hi I am using JIRA 7.1 and mysql 5.5. This is my entire trace and there was no JIRA installed previously. When I am trying to give correct username and password I am getting this error.

Comment

Ahhhh, ok, I found it. The comparison is actually made the other direction from what I expected, and the `null` is coming in from the application properties setting, not from the argument.

public boolean isEquivalentTo(final String uri) {
    try {
        return new URI(uri).equals(asUri());
    } catch (URISyntaxException invalidUriArguments) {
        // either the passed in uri is not valid or the base url is not a valid URI. Default to plain string
        // comparison in this case
        return uri.equals(asString());
    }
}
 
// asUri() parses what it gets from asString() which is just...
 
public String asString() {
    return applicationProperties.getString(APKeys.JIRA_BASEURL);
}

I think some places in the code may be hardened against this property not being set, but it doesn't surprise me that this one isn't. It's much more surprising that the base URL property hasn't been set in the first place. It suggests that something went wrong during the initial setup process.

You can try the repair steps that Mahmoud linked to in his answer, How do I Manually Change The Base URL, but I suspect what you'll find is that the property does not actually exist.
It's probably easiest to scrap the database and try again. I haven't seen it fail to initialize correctly very often, so I would not expect that problem to reproduce.
Either way, I would suggest opening a Support Request so that we can get your log files from you and take a look. There may be something in there that explains why the property did not get created.
