Updating JAVA in JIRA 5.2.7

[Bhupesh Nagda]

I installed JIRA with linux installler...hence it's using inbuilt JAVA..but now I am plannig to update to JIRA 6.0 which doesn't support jdk1.6. I have updated PATH and JAVA_HOME for new Jdk 1.7u21 but it doesn't pick newly installed JAVA on JIRA restart..I checked https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Installing+Java and could find no further documentation on this..Please suggest!!

Thanks:)

Hi..

I have installed JAVA with jdk1.7.0_21on my JIRA server and trying to point JIRA5.2.7 to this JAVA

permgen.sh has

#JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME

When I restart the JIRA(/bin/shutdown.sh and bin/startup.sh) to point to New JAVA JIRA gets locked with the messages posted above....

JAVA is shown correctly in prompt:

[root@EOSLtest02 bin]# java -version

java version "1.7.0_21"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

Thanks

ok i was wondering if jira 5.x supports java7...looks like it does.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/JIRA+5.2+unable+to+be+used+after+upgrading+Java+to+1.7

but i also found this one:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-31670

do you really need jira to run with a JDK?

you may consider updating JIRA to 5.2.8 ?

I thought script was adding /bin..anyway I did it...Still the same error

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/jre"; export JAVA_HOME

hey bhupesh.

whats the current state? tell me what you did so far etc.

[C_ Faysal]

Isn't there a jre folder in your jdk directory?

[C_ Faysal]

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/jre"; export JAVA_HOME

[Bhupesh Nagda]

vim /instaldir/bin/permgen.sh

#JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME

JAVA_HOME="/opt/idam/jdk1.7.0_21/"; export JAVA_HOME

:wq

Also Java is identified by server:

[root@EOSLtest02 bin]# java -version

java version "1.7.0_21"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

[root@EOSLtest02 bin]#

Thanks for reply...You are right I missed that entry but after pointing to my newly installed JAVA_HOME

I got "JIRA startup failed, JIRA has been locked." error after restart

"The following plugins are required by JIRA, but have not been started: RPC JIRA Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.ext.rpc), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Project Config Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-project-config-plugin), Atlassian OAuth Admin Plugin (com.atlassian.oauth.admin), Embedded Gadgets Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.embedded), Gadget Dashboard Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.dashboard), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Look And Feel Logo Upload Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.lookandfeel), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - OAuth Consumer SPI (com.atlassian.jira.oauth.consumer), Atlassian REST - Module Types (com.atlassian.plugins.rest.atlassian-rest-module), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - OAuth Service Provider SPI (com.atlassian.jira.oauth.serviceprovider), Gadget Spec Publisher Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.publisher), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - REST Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.rest), Atlassian OAuth Service Provider Plugin (com.atlassian.oauth.serviceprovider), Atlassian OAuth Consumer Plugin (com.atlassian.oauth.consumer), Opensocial Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.opensocial), Gadget Directory Plugin (com.atlassian.gadgets.directory), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Gadgets Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.gadgets), Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Quick Edit Plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-quick-edit-plugin)"

For anyone of the plugins it says:

Please Suggest!!

hi bhupesh.

can you please tell me what path is set in /opt/atlassian/jira/bin/permgem.sh

i.e. mine looks like this

#JAVA_HOME="/opt/atlassian/jira/jre/"; export JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/latest"; export JAVA_HOME

just comment out the default..and put in your own.

restart jira after you've done the change and this should be it

Looks like ma wrong path. What did you change?

Try clearing plugin caches. Clear the content of .bundled-plugins and .osgi-plugins folder found in <jira-home>/plugins/
