Jira 3.13 (and 3.14) is been tested on Tomcat 6.0, so I'm not sure about its performace on Tomcat 6.0.20.

Please check this documentation about how to run Jira over Tomcat 6:

http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v3.13/servers/tomcat60.html

Hope it helps!

Hi Nic and Harry,

Thanks for the reply.

In our web app, we have a plugin (custom) that uses slf4j jars. This was placed in the web application lib folder, which had problem while startup. Then we moved these jars to the 'tomcat\lib' folder. The error for the log4j stopped occuring. Other than this there is no change, i just followed the documentation given by Bruna.

Thank you for the support :)

Hi Nic,

As per the documentation , the log4j has to be removed from the webapp/WEB-INF/lib folder. Hence i removed it.

the JIRA version is : 3.13.3

the Tomcat is : 6.0.20, i will upgrade to Tomcat 7 and try the same and update the thread.

the JDK is : jdk1.6.0_30

regarding the datasource, i think you are refering to

&lt;Context path="/workflow" docBase="/"&gt;

    &lt;!-- NOTE: If you use a database other than hsqldb:
    * delete the minEvictableIdleTimeMillis and timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis attributes
    * change the database type in atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/entityengine.xml
    --&gt;
    &lt;Resource name="jdbc/JiraDS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            username="sa"
            password=""
            driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
            url="jdbc:hsqldb:../../platform/database/jiradb"
            minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="4000"
            timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="5000"
            antiJARLocking="true"/&gt;

    &lt;Resource name="UserTransaction" auth="Container" type="javax.transaction.UserTransaction"
    factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory" jotm.timeout="60"/&gt;
    &lt;Manager pathname=""/&gt;

&lt;/Context&gt;

thank you,

vanchin

Tomcat 7 isn't likely to work with this old version of JIRA. I would stick with trying to work it out on Tomcat 6.

I really doubt Jira 3.x will work at all with Tomcat 7, you'll be much better off sticking with Tomcat 6.0.20

Your build does look good to me though, I can't see what's wrong from these snippets. Could you explain your overall process? Give us a brief overview of what you're doing? (e.g. "download Tomcat 6, expand it, put additional jars in, download jira war version, expand it, modify files, build it, put it in Tomcat")

That looks like you have not installed the additional libraries that Tomcat needs to support Jira.

Could you confirm that you've actually followed the documentation Bruna pointed you at? (Especially the "update tomcat libraries" part)

Hi Nic,

All the jars that are from the zip file are added to the tomcat/lib folder. The list jars are:

  • carol.jar
  • carol-properties.jar
  • commons-logging.jar
  • hsqldb.jar
  • jonas_timer.jar
  • jotm.jar
  • jotm-iiop_stubs.jar
  • jotm-jrmp_stubs.jar
  • jta.jar
  • log4j.jar
  • objectweb-datasource.jar
  • ots-jts.jar
  • xapool.jar

thank you

Ok, good. Did you remove the log4j file from the 3.14 build? (It may not be there, depending on how you're doing this).

Could you confirm your versions?

  • Jira 3.14 does not exist, so I'm a bit stuck on what you're actually doing
  • Tomcat - you've said 6.0.20 and I've had problems with that one - could you use a later one? Or are we stuck on 6.0.20?
  • And Java? Which JDK is it and what version?


Also, could you take another look at your datasource config - it doesn't feel right to me.
