Where are things?

Stock JIRA is installed at /srv/jira under its own user account 'jira'.

Changes to stock JIRA

conf/server.xml needs to be modified to accomodate for the fact that SSL is terminated at the front SSL (more details): In particular, the HTTP connector needs to have the following added:

scheme="https" proxyName="issues.jenkins-ci.org" proxyPort="443"

To bounce the server

sudo /etc/init.d/jira stop && sleep 10 && sudo /etc/init.d/jira start

(restart sometimes doesn't restart the server. Better do start/stop separately to be safe)

Customization

When upgrading to the newer version, be sure to make these changes.

Stop access logs, as we use Apache to take them. This is in /conf/server.xml. Comment out a valve definition.

Incident records

Out of disk - Aug 30th, 2011

Stupid machine ran out of disk space, rtyler synced some older data from /srv/jira/home/export locally for temporary archival. (Will eventually re-upload to lettuce once a proper backup partition is in place.
