web-impressions October 17, 2012

I followed this tutuorial to setup JIRA on my Ubuntu using a PostgreSQL DB:
http://hendrelouw73.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/how-to-install-atlassian-jira-5-on-ubuntu-12-04-linux/

When do the first access via Firefox and setup the database settings at first page: db connection is successful. But then i get an error. How to fix that?

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

Why go to the complication of the WAR build? The standalone install is bulletproof, Ive installed it hundreds of times if not more.

My money says the hand editing of entityengine has broken it.

Really, it boils down to:

1. get the latest 5.1.7? standalone verison, unpack the TGZ

2. set the the JIRA home folder in either bin/setenv.sh or atlassian-jira/WEB-INf/classes/application.properties

3. run bin/startup.sh

4. Use a browser on :8080, select your database

and away you go?
