JIRA: Cannot add user, all the user directories are read-only.

[Mikhail Shitikov]

Hello.

I have installed JIRA Service Desk 7.3 on Centos 7, and I have External DB PostgreSQL 9.6, and on last step, where I choice name of Administrator, password (details for the administrator account for the installation. The account will be granted the JIRA system administrator permission.) and click next, I've got error: Cannot add user, all the user directories are read-only.

User name for DB: jiradbuser
DB name: jiradb

---------------
postgres=# CREATE USER jiradbuser WITH password 'password';
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE "jira"
postgres-# WITH OWNER = jiradb
postgres-# ENCODING = 'UTF8'
postgres-# TEMPLATE = 'template0'
postgres-# TABLESPACE = pg_default
postgres-# LC_COLLATE = 'ru_RU.UTF-8'
postgres-# LC_CTYPE = 'ru_RU.UTF-8'
postgres-# CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;
CREATE DATABASE
--------------- 

PostgreSQL 9.6 DB is configured with default configuration, like Confluence.

I did try make privileges for jiradbuser via pgAdmin, I gave superuser for this user and made restart of db, no way, I've got this error again, please help me, where and how to make this privileges.

Thanx

Hi,

I don't think 9.6 is a supported version and the issue is related to that, e.g. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-44216 And https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-63696

 Cheers

Henri

Okay, in this case I want choose another kind of Set Up Jira app. After choosed method: My own database, I want change the way of configuration due failure DB compatibility PostgreSQL 9.6. But I can't going back to a first main menu where I could make new choice, without external DB or with another kind of DB (for example MySQL).

Everytime when I try open http://jira.my-company-domain.com:8080/ browser redirecting me to a page with continued configuration, which has been choiced in previous method http://jira.my-company-domain.com:8080/secure/SetupApplicationProperties!default.jspa

Question:

How to reset this tune and get first main menu, as default, like in a first once?

Thanx

Hi,

Take the following steps:

1) stop JIRA (if it's currently running)

2) Delete JIRA app directory

3) Delete JIRA home directory

4) Relaunch the JIRA installer
