on an AWS Ec2 server. The latest version of Jira is 8.20.3. There were no issues during the upgrade. However, my browser does not support Jira. A browser error appears:
Error connecting to JIRA's database
A browser error appears:
Error connecting to JIRA's database
Browser error:
Error connecting to JIRA's database
JIRA could not establish a connection to your database.
The following reasons may explain this:
Your database is not operational
(User, password, or database URL) in your dbconfig.xml file are incorrect.
There is a network issue between JIRA and your database (e.g. firewall, database doesn't allow remote access etc.)
The current status of Jira is :

● jira.service

I think there is a user or a permission issue.

Can anyone guide me please?

After upgrading to 8.20.3, Jira will not start
on an AWS Ec2 server. The latest version of Jira is 8.20.3. There were no issues during the upgrade. However, my browser does not support Jira. A browser error appears:
Error connecting to JIRA's database
A browser error appears:
Error connecting to JIRA's database
Browser error:
Error connecting to JIRA's database
JIRA could not establish a connection to your database.
The following reasons may explain this:
Your database is not operational
(User, password, or database URL) in your dbconfig.xml file are incorrect.
There is a network issue between JIRA and your database (e.g. firewall, database doesn't allow remote access etc.)
The current status of Jira is :

I think there is a user or a permission issue.

Can anyone guide me please?

Um, I'm not sure why you're asking us this.  

All we can do is repeat the bit of error that you've given us, as it tells us exactly what is wrong and where you need to be looking to fix it:

Error connecting to JIRA's database
JIRA could not establish a connection to your database.
The following reasons may explain this:
Your database is not operational
(User, password, or database URL) in your dbconfig.xml file are incorrect.
There is a network issue between JIRA and your database (e.g. firewall, database doesn't allow remote access etc.)

Surprisingly enough, this is actually a less obvious error than it looks like. I've actually done this upgrade 5 times now, and the database config that works for 8.11 doesn't work for 8.20 for some reason.

 

I haven't figured out what the issue with the config is from the two versions or why it reads it different yet. But /something/ definitely changes here -- or jira isn't reading the config right in the same format it was for old instances.

 

Odds are this dbconfig has only had the password and database url changed over the last 7+ years. So there may just be some older xml setting or something silly. But it has taken me a few attempts to narrow down all the upgrade errors from JVM settings that change to whatever this database error is.

It's still something to do with the database connection, there's no point looking elsewhere.

Have you tried a clean installation instead of an upgrade?  What dbconfig.xml does that create, and if it works ok, what is the difference between it and the dbconfig in the upgraded and failing system?
