I think, server.xml should move to <home directory>/shared/.

Copy and pasted server.xml in Shared directory. If new installation you can create <home directory>/shared/. and place server.xml. Hope this help.Thanks.

Read :

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Stash+upgrade+guide

Locating the server.xml file

The location of the server.xml file changed in Stash 3.8, to keep editable configuration files in the Stash home directory and out of the (version specific) Stash installation directories. 

Release	Directory
Stash 3.7 and earlier	<Stash installation directory>/conf/server.xml
Stash 3.8 and later	<Stash home directory>/shared/server.xml

Hi,

I updated my Stash from 3.2.0 to 3.9.1 and the server does not start with the same error.

The logs are very clean, no stacktrace nothing big.

Only these lines:

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

catalina.out (END)

My server:

Ubuntu 14.10 x64

I must mention that the 3.9.1/conf directory contains no server.xml file:

I installed stash as before with:

sudo sh atlassian-stash-3.9.1-x64.bin

I downgraded to 3.2.0 in /etc/init.d/atlstash and it works.

Please let me know it there is a correction to this.

Please let me know if I can provide you with more details.

Update:

I was able to make it start by copying the server.xml file from

STASH_HOME/shared

to

STASH_INSTALL_DIR/conf

Tomcat started but the update was not good Stash web page presents itself like a new installation not an upgrade to something existing...

It is my second time Stash looses my data in an standard update of a standard installation (nothing custom). Your job here is not that good. I will continue to use JIRA+Confluence but I will discontinue Stash.

Thank you  Anurag for your reply

Yes i'm trying to install it on windows i downloaded the exe file from this link https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/download. I ran the exe file and followed the instruction to install it as a service. The problem is the install never end the progress bar reaches the end and nothing happens and the installation interface is still open.

And i cheked the windows service i found it but i cant start it. here is what i found after in the file catalina.log

Question is unclear.

I believe you have installed in window. What was the install instructions you used? Is it installed as a Service? Please share the instruction.

You can check catalina.out in <stash install dir>\logs\catalina.out.

Once install, you need to configure by launching the Stash URL in a web browser.

Please check if Stash Service is running.

start-> search program >services.msc> check if Stash is running.

Thank you.
