JIRA 5.0.3 (and 4.4.5) install on Windows using Oracle 11g failing

[John Howard]

Install fails after putting the database details into the wizard. Connection test is successful, then the following error:

HTTP Status 500 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Exception report

message

exception

Oracle 11g/JIRA 5.0.3 & 4.4.5 tried

[Radu Dumitriu]

These errors usually occur when the Jira setup is incorrect.

On ORCL, check if database-type is oracle10g / oracle11g (depends on the JDBC drivers). Check the JDBC drivers, too.

I cannot believe that HSQL error is exactly the same, it works for me.

[Andre Lehmann]

Yes, like I said, the install crashes even with hsql-db.

[JamieA]

That's the wrong dbconfig.xml... that one is for hsql.

[Norman Abramovitz]

I would contact support, but this feels like someone forgot that Oracle supports identity column types differently by using sequences. It could also be the installation code did not recognize that an Oracle database is being used and sequence support was not added.

I don't have an Oracle installation to compare to, so I do not know for sure which type of error you are running into.

I am also assuming you setup your database type correctly.

here the dbconfig.xml

What's the content of dbconfig.xml ? You will find this file in the JIRA home dir.

[Andre Lehmann]

Same for us (jira 5.0.3) running on unix.

Even HSQL-DB crashes
