So, I upgraded my server, but it specified that a few files were needed for the upgrade; setenv.sh server.xml web.xml and the like, so I moved those into position and attempted to stop the server to restart it.  It is now specifying that it can't find java_home.

 

As I used the bin file to install this, I had expected Java to be installed along side the jira app.  If that is the case, I need to know where and how to point the jira app at the installed java_home.  If that isn't the case, suggestions on what java to get, and where to implement a change so jira is happy again would be appreciated!

@admin admin  Can you please check, what does below line prints,

$ echo $JAVA_HOME

If it prints noting, I think you need to set $JAVA_HOME manually in /etc/environment something like this,

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin"

JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin" # Add link to packaged JRE.

Then apply it and see if this time it prints  JAVA_HOME,

$ source /etc/environment
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin

 

You are good to run Jira now.

I resolved this by entering it into the /etc/environment file

I am still unable to log in now however, but I will open another ticket for that, thank-you!
