Jira Server startup stucks in "Running system startup tasks"

[Matthias Thömel]

Hello, since this morning my JIRA does not start anymore. 

I am using the JIRA internal database engine. 

I also read this:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/jira-hangs-at-the-startup-page-937890815.html

And I checked the internet connection of the server and I remove the latest UPM jar file from the plugin directory. 

But that did not help.

What can I do to get my JIRA back to work?

I looked into the log files but the lates messages seem OK:

What can I do?

Hi! 

Could you clean plugin caches located in JIRA_HOME. plugins/.bundled-plugins and plugins/.osgi-plugins. 

So you can safely clean-up when JIRA is stopped.

Cheers,

Hi, I figured out: the JIRA git plugin does that. I removed the plugin from the directory and now JIRA starts again.

Keep fingers away from that plugin, I would say :-)
