Can't access JIRA standalone localhost:8080

[Charlie]

Last night our sys admins did their monthly patching of our Linux servers, I imagine that after patching and rebooting this issue was caused. I can no longer display the jira web page:  http://localhost:8080, I get a 404 not found.

I've dug into the logs and found these errors:

[jira@servername log]$ tail -200 atlassian-jira.log | grep ERROR

What is happening here? Is it a Java issue or did something else change?

Thank you.

What do you see at the end of the JIRA logs? Did it start fine? Is it still running?

If so, it might be an issue with the port being blocked. Maybe a firewall that was not running earlier is running now. You can check iptables, selinux etc as well.

Hi Jobin,

Even though the ../start-jira.sh script runs without errors, this is what I'm seeing at the end of the log:

I have not yet checked the SELinux, but when I run a netstat -noa I do see port 8080 listening.

By the way, the version of Jira I'm running is 7.5.1, and the version of java on this server is:

openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

Java was updated during the patching.

Thank you.

I see that you are checking only the last 200 lines of atlassian-jira.log file. Can you go further up and check where the errors start?

Hi the errors repeat themselves, this is from every restart I've done so far, the log error dates and times repeat with every restart of the service. The entries I've posted so far are from the /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/log/atlassian-jira.log log file.

These below are from the catalina.out file under /opt/atlassian/jira/logs, which also repeat again and again:

Something else I found in the log at a prior time:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to create a tracker when osgi is not running
