Jira wouldn't start

Girish V Nair September 15, 2016

Hello I installed JIRA as follows:

wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-servicedesk-3.2.0-x64.bin

./atlassian-servicedesk-3.2.0-x64.bin

chmod -R 755 /opt/atlassian/

chown -R jira.jira /opt/atlassian/

chown -R jira.jira /var/atlassian/

chmod -R 755 /var/atlassian/

su - JIRA

/opt/atlassian/jira/bin/start-jira.sh

 

However I am not able to start JIRA as JIRA is getting locked by setting :

/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/.jira-home.lock

I tried removing the lock and restarting but no progress

The Linux syntax for change owner is:

chown -R user:group /some/file.txt

Anyways you do not need to do so.


Do you already have JIRA installed on that server? If so there is no need to install service desk via the vm as it is an add-on for jira.

  1. Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
  2. Choose  > Applications
  3. Download JIRA service desk add-on

 

If you do not have JIRA installed on the vm then i suggest you uninstall the the current installation:

cd /opt/atlassian/jira/

./uninstall

rm -rf /opt/Atlassian

rm -rf /var/Atlassian

Make sure you are root user

./atlassian-servicedesk-3.2.0-x64.bin


That's it the app will start automatically once installed

You can monitor if it is up by:

ps aux | grep java

Hi Noam,

 

Many thanks for the quick reply.

However,

 

I am trying to install JIRA service desk in datacentre clustering mode. The linux command which I executed works  and changes permissions to user and group 'jira'. I don't have anything installed and am not able to get http://localhost:8080

Earlier I had managed to install it with same steps but with a different version (3.1.0)

Now the setup even fails to start a single instance installation.

Also I had attempted to install using the root user. And it created JIRA user.

 

Regards,
