JIRA Server base url

[Pat Condon]

I am running JIRA Server on Windows with no additional IIS or Apache, standard install running as a service.  I am not following the other posts in community or through the links below to configure http://jira.domain.com - any guidance is post appreciated:

Thank you!

Yes, I am not sure how to update the server.xml and/or the Base URL in admin to get http://jira.domain.com to lead me to the application after adding the DNS entry for the same on our network.  I will then be working on SSL

Thanks

Pat, what exactly are looking for? Are you saying that you cannot figure out how to configure JIRA to run on a domain name other than http://localhost:8080? 

Have you already registered a domain name and you are wanting to run your JIRA on that URL? 

Added: 

Pat, to get JIRA running over http://jira.domain.com, you'll need to introduce a Webserver. Install Apache  on the server that the DNS points to(doesn't have to be Apache, just the one I am most familiar with). You'll want to follow the steps outlined in the Atlassian documentation: 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira064/integrating-jira-with-apache-720411718.html

In particular, you'll want to load the correct modules in apache 

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so 
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so 
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

And create a new virtualhost that contains something similar to the following: 

# JIRA Proxy Configuration:
<Proxy *>
       Require all granted
</Proxy>

ProxyRequests           Off
ProxyPreserveHost       On
ProxyPass               /       http://jiraserver:8080/
ProxyPassReverse        /       http://jiraserver:8080/

[Pat Condon]

Thanks for the information!

I will work on Apache install but wish I could remember how it was setup below because I did not have Apache installed before but had the custom url w/o port

Thanks again

[Pat Condon]

Do the proxy statements need to be in certain spot of server xml?

I am still struggling with getting http://jira.domain.com w/o having to use http://jira.domain.com:8080

Thanks

You should be able to place it at the bottom of the "Virtualhost" section. If you are having trouble you can include conf file for more recommendations.

[Pat Condon]

Kain,

Thank you for your help.  I am really at a loss - I don't follow the steps completely on any of the link you included.  I updated the httpd.conf and thought I should shutdown and restart before putting in file in place and now can't restart Apache.  Included are server.xml and httpd.conf - any suggestions are much appreciated:

does not seem to want the httpd.conf - only made sure three LoadModule lines are uncommented
