Hi @br1984 ,

Please check if your BASE URL and the url you logged in are the same. For example, if your base url is abcd.com then access with abcd.com.

Follow this link Updating the universal plugin manager for more information on how to update the Universal plugin manager(UPM).

Regards,
Sudhir

How do I check the "BASE URL"?  Where is this displayed?

I don't see anything relevant here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/updating-the-universal-plugin-manager-273875702.html

Hi @br1984

Under Systems ->General Configuration->Settings, you can find the Base URL. Try to access the JIRA instance with the Base URL and try to update UPM.

Update UPM by file replacement

If for any reason you cannot update UPM through the administration page, you can update the UPM file by replacing the UPM file in the directory instead. Before starting, get the version of the plugin that you want to install from the Atlassian Marketplace. Then follow the instructions as below:

JIRA applications

To update the UPM  in JIRA applications:

1. Shut down the JIRA application.
2. Remove the existing UPM JAR file from this directory in your JIRA home directory: 
   plugins/installed-plugins
   The name of the JAR file may be prepended with a number, such as: 
   846688264762062110.atlassian-universal-plugin-manager-plugin-2.7.6.jar
3. Copy the new UPM JAR file into the same directory.
4. Restart your JIRA application.

Please check if this workaround helps.

Regards,
Sudhir

Yes the base URL is the same as the login URL.  Here it also specifies the port that Jira is running on (8443) if that matters?

This worked.  Thanks!
