Install JIRA Core and Confluence on the Same CentOS Server

[Levi Rogers]

I have found a few similar questions but they talk about using apache as a front end proxy.  I am not sure I see why that is a requirement they are listening on different ports.  I installed both in different directories and I see both ports listed in Netstat but I can only connect to one.  

SELINUX is enabled.  I am thinking something around that.  We are evaluating with a Starter License to see if these products will be a good fit company wide.  

Thanks for any help.

Well silly me, I didn't add my firewall cmd permanently.  So....it is good.  Thanks for your help guys.

This is a test environment.  That is why they are on the same server.  They are listening on different ports 8080 and 8090, that is why I don't understand why it won't work.  

JIRA Works, Confluence does not.

Try increasing your memory allocation - addition of Synchrony causes huge memory usage in Confluence

Check your proccesses - see if everything has been clean shut down. Kill all your confluence process and try starting once again.

[Evgeny Gryaznov]

The answer is very simple. Two different process in CentOs CAN'T share one port number. Jira an Confluence use different TomCat process and different ports for running. Apache and Nginx usually bind to 80 port and redirect (proxy) requests to Jira or Confluence personal ports. 

And don't forget, what you cant simple change port numbers in server.xml to 80 port, because ports 1-1024 allowed only for system (root) users. 

To discover what wrong with your installation, just examine catalina.log in both (jira and confluentce) home root log directories. 

[Danyal Iqbal]

+1 for examining the log. Make sure both products started up correctly.

-1 for installing both products on the same machine. (Bad Idea)

Just out of curiosity: Which one can you connect to?jira or confluence?

[Levi Rogers]

They are not listening or running on the same port.  8080 and 8090 respectively.  See my other attachment for logs.  Thanks again.

[Vickey Palzor Lepcha]

@Danyal Iqbal  I don't think running them on the same machine is a bad idea. I have been running them for ages now with no problem at all.

There could be only one issue - performance, but that's not an application issue, which can also be taken care of by pumping up the server resources.

[Levi Rogers]

@Vickey Palzor Lepcha  That is good to hear.  Any suggestion on what I might be missing here?
