JIRA sha1:unknown

[Christian Selbrede]

On the bottom of my JIRA instance, I have the following displayed:

"Bug tracking and project tracking for software development powered by Atlassian JIRA (v5.1.1#772-sha1:unknown) Report a problem"

Why is it saying sha1:unkown? What's going on with this? This is a JIRA install that was built from the source. What can be done about this?

The unknown part seems to be a build or release string. If you built it yourself it's probably to be expected. You can cheat it by hiding the footer by adding this to your announcement banner:

<style>
.footer-body{visibility:hidden;}
</style>

To fix it I would either reinstall or open a support ticket with atlassian.

Hi Selbch,

What Java JDK are you using?

I'm wondering, because sometimes it occurs when is used JDK 7.

I am using JDK 1.6_35. How can I get this "unknown" to go away?

Hi Selbch,

Have you customized something in JDK? Perhaps there is a misconfiguration on it, once the hash function SHA-1 is not being recognized properly.

You may could try to install a new JDK to see if the "unknown" message will keep appearing?

Hi Fagner,

I have not actually customized anything in the JDK, so I'm still a little confused as to why the SHA: unknown is showing up.

I installed a new JDK 1.6_37, and the "unknown" message is still appearing.
