How to install Jira on Linux(CentOS 6.0)

[Weber Li]

I try my best to install Jira on Linux for a few days, but it encounters some issue, it has new issue when I resolved one issue.

Do you have one document about how to install and configure JAVA, MySQL and JIRA(step to step). My Jira version is 5.2.4.1.

Such as:

I need to remove .jira.home.lock file every restart.

I need to run start-jira.sh -fg every restart, but it always stop INFO:Server startup in 49231ms, so Jira doesn't work.

Hi Weber,

As discussed in our support ticket, it was caused by your firewall, and it seems to work once you disabled your firewall.

Feel free to accept an answer and close this question :)

What version of Java do you have? We had some similar issues with Java 7.

And why you need to run jira in foreground?

Please close this question

why close the firewall. thats not a good idea..just allow the communication with jira and you should be fine...but disabling it completely is not the smartest solution

[Weber Li]

Sorry. Need to close firewall

I can't look for one full document to configure JAVA, MYSQL, JIRA

Try using different port number, change the ports using JIRA Configuration Tool. And 5.2.5 already released :)
