James Griffin
James Griffin July 5, 2018

Hi,

Im using CentOS 7.

I installed JIRA from the .bin file 

sudo mkdir /opt/atlassian
cd /opt/atlassian/

sudo wget https://downloads.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/atlassian-jira-software-7.9.2-x64.binsudo chmod +x atlassian-jira-software-7.9.2-x64.bin

sudo ./atlassian-jira-software-7.9.2-x64.bin

 

Im trying to setup HTTPS following this link

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/running-jira-applications-over-ssl-or-https-861253906.html

I am trying to run config.sh

cd /opt/atlassian/jira/bin

./config.sh

 

I get the error

No JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable is set - attempting to just run java command

I have followed this

My understanding from what I read is setenv.h should set some variables including JAVA_HOME. Note: from the above capture JAVA_HOME is set, but that was due to me setting it manually above as outlined. If I reboot, JAVA_HOME is not present. If I then run setenv.sh again JAVA_HOME is still not present, which I thought setenv.sh should be doing?

Im new to the Linux world, and im struggling to understand what is happening here. 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Update:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin
[root@JIRA-Server bin]# ./config.sh

No JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable is set - attempting to just run java command

Loading application properties from /opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties

Reading database configuration from /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/dbconfig.xml

No graphics display available; using console.

----------------------

JIRA Configurator v1.1

----------------------

 

--- Main Menu ---

  [H] Configure JIRA Home

  [D] Database Selection

  [W] Web Server (incl. HTTP/HTTPs configuration)

  [A] Advanced Settings

  [S] Save and Exit

  [X] Exit without Saving

 

Main Menu> x

This got the config.sh script to run.

Im unsure why I had to do this though? I thought the installer should set all this up. Also im still unsure why setenv.sh does not appear to be setting variables as I described above. I have no JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variables by default, and am concerned this will give issues further down the line.

Any advice welcome.

Just for anyone trying to perform the same on Ubuntu 18.04 you want to edit /etc/environment and add the /opt/atlassian/jire/jre/bin to the end, make sure to pre-pend with :

Oh and then apply the change (without rebooting)

source /etc/environment && export PATH

@James GriffinActually to solve the JAVA_PATH issue you can also add an additional line in your /etc/environment, the end result should be something like this:

 

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin"
JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin"

 Then apply it and see if echo $JAVA_HOME shows up:

source /etc/environment
echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/bin

Thank you James for posting the problem and solution! I was having the same issue - it doesn't make sense why the mapping wouldn't work right out the box...but at least there is a workaround!

 

Thanks!
