Still haven't been able to get this Jira instance working. I've begun reloading Jira on a new server, but would still prefer to get this running again if anyone has experience troubleshooting this. I'm definitely out of my depth here and have a feeling I'm missing something "easy".

Have you ever found an answer? Been fighthing for over a week with this. My PROD server work just fine but when I mirror all the config to a cloud server, it crashes with this error.
