Mobile App "Jira server" can't connect troubleshooting

Christian Dalager August 7, 2019

I get "Can't connect to your site".

  • I have upgraded to jira 8.3 and enabled mobile support.
  • My installation is publicly available.
  • I can use jira through the browser on both Android and iOS.
  • I am using Android app version 0.5.7 and the iOS version 1.0.1
  • SSL certificate is valid

Jira is behind an Apache SSL proxy and I have tailored the proxy's 404 response from the  /server-info to return this set of headers that the unproxied endpoint returns:

  • mobile-plugin-enabled →true
  • push-notification-enabled →true
  • jira-base-url →https://projectmgmt.mysite.com
  • instance-name →Jira
  • is-data-center →false

I can see that the /server-info url is hit.

But nothing works.

To resolve this issue, you will need to configure your custom filter to allow <jira-base-url>/server-info to pass through without authentication.

Hello Christian,

After many tests and looking at Apache logs and documentation I have managed to solve it by commenting in the httpd.conf file the following two lines:

#LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so
#Include conf/extra/httpd-info.conf

I think this is the safest way to solve it, since another way was to go to conf/extra/httpd-info.conf and comment on the following:

<Location /server-info>
        SetHandler server-info
       #Require host .example.com
       #Require ip 127
</Location>

Note: I have Apache installed on Windows

I hope it helps you, in case you have Apache on Linux please publish the solution
Thank you

Hello Christian,

Did you manage to solve the problem? The same thing happens to me with Jira version 8.4.2
I have Jira and Confluence with Apache on the same machine configured for https. The Confluence App works correctly but Jira's cannot get in. However from the mobile browser without problem.
