Installing Jira from a archive file on windows

[Patrick J Bonk]

I am on step five running the setup wizard and I answered the first page question wrong how do I get back to page one.

Hi, either restart JIRA as said OR you can delete everything from the database + home directory and completely start fresh.

[Patrick J Bonk]

I removed everything from the home directory + database folder and it still sends me to page 2

One way is to stop JIRA and start it again. You will be directed to the earlier step.

[Patrick J Bonk]

this did not work, I was still pointed at the second page?

[Zul NS _Atlassian_]

If you have configured the database using the JIRA Configuration Tools, then you will automatically redirected to the 2nd step. Please delete your dbconfig.xml in JIRA_HOME directory and see if this works.

This did work and now I am at the first page and when I choose external I should expect a drop down menu for me to configure mysql database that we use. It is not giving me a drop down list??

[Patrick J Bonk]

I would like to use the wizard but the drop down is not there....should I then use the configuration tool?

[Zul NS _Atlassian_]

Indeed. You can refer to this page for configuring database using setup wizard. Or, you could configure them using JIRA Configuration Tools in this page.
