I am unable to find the 'bitbucket.properties' files within my bitbucket_home after setting it?

[Juan Eckert]

I ran set-bitbucket-home.sh and it gave me a directory. When I searched the specified directory, I see no mention of a 'bitbucket.properties' file. I need this to change my repository to private.

This is on a linux server.

Edit: I should add that I am a novice linux user

Hi Juan,

Out of the box the file does not exist unless you're using an external database. If you don't have the file in the <BitbucketHome>/shared directory you can simply create it.

Cheers,

Assuming you did a standard install of Bitbucket, your bitbucket.properties file should be in:

 /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/shared/

You can check the running application with:

ps -ef | grep java

Then you should see a parameter like :

-Dbitbucket.home=/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket
