Problem to configure/find JAVA_HOME on JIRA Software

[Deleted user]

Good morning,

We have a JIRA Software 8.11.0 running on a debian server. We installed it with the Jira Software installer and we want now configuring it to run over HTTPS.

I've read these documentations:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/installing-java-861253016.html

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/installing-java-861253016.html

In these documentations it is explain that if we used the jira installer we don´t need to install JAVA manually but im not sure that jdk is install.

For example, when I write java -version it didn't return anything.

echo $JAVA_HOME also didn't return anything.

Is that normal ? Should I reinstall JDK ?

There is a JRE included with Jira (I'm currently using Jira 8.5.x). It is within the Jira application home in the folder /jre

That said, I normally install my own separate JDK and set the new JAVA_HOME in the setenv.sh file.

For example:

JAVA_HOME="/myfolder/atlassian/openjdk11/"; export JAVA_HOME
