Error after upgrading Jira Servicedesk

Robert van der Kruijssen
Robert van der Kruijssen February 25, 2019

After upgrading Jira I am no longer able to connect to Jira Servicedesk.

I'm running a CentOS machine that I've upgraded to the latest version as well.

I'm getting the below error.

Jira Core 7.5 > 8.0.1

Jira Servicedesk 3.8.1 > 4.0.1
