Step 4 JIRA 4.3.4 Java Issue - Configuration tool

[Nick Mancuso]

Good day,

I seem to be having an issue with configuration step (step4) on a centos system i keep getting the following error when i try to run the configuration

./config.sh

Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException:

No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

at com.atlassian.jira.configurator.Configurator.main(Configurator.java:41)

It seems like its trying to startup some sort of GUI and since I am doing the install over SSH it is causing issues.

Anyone got any suggestions for this issue?

Try setting -Djava.awt.headless=true. You can find out how to set that in your application server at Setting Properties on Startup.
