Jira and apache2

Matthieu lopez February 17, 2015

Hi !

I have a server who contains several bugtrackers.
So I download the standalone version of Jira, I install the JIRA folder in /var/www/sd_jira. I configured apache2 files...
( I follow this page for installations : https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Integrating+JIRA+with+Apache)

So, when I go to http://mydomain/sd_jira , I get this page :

jirahome.png

The apache2 redirection seems work, but the JIRA server not seems. I don't find/understand where is my mistake when I changed server.xml and jira-application.properties :/

Can you help me ? its a very "sample" installation, one folder in /var/www who contains the standalone of JIRA and apache2 who allow to go to the url http://mydomain/sd_jira (the homepage of jira)

server.xml content :

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                 This should produce access_log.<date> files in the 'logs' directory.

                 The output access log lies has the following fields :

jira-application.properties content :

jira.home =/var/www/sd_jira

(just in case) , the content of my 000-default.conf apache2 file :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
    #ServerName www.example.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www

    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
    # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
    <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all

Thanks =) And sorry for my english writing x)

You've misunderstood what JIRA is.

JIRA is a web application, not a site.  Apache only serves up web sites, it does not run applications like this.

You need to install and run Jira, then you use Apache to proxy to it as part of your web site.  You've got most of the proxy stuff right, but you've not installed JIRA at all (and you've used the wrong directory for it)

Please follow https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Installing+JIRA+on+Linux
