My Jira working directory and Jira home directory are in different locations

The upgrade wizard asks for 'existing installation directory', how do I confirm which one is correct for the system upgrade?

Hi @yannickwilson , 

 

the installation directory is where you have the Jira binary application. It is different from your Jira Home directory. It will likely be something like atlassian-jira-8.5.x-standalone for example.

 

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks for your input

I am running Windows so the path might be slightly different

But I figured that the directory where the start and stop scripts were would be a indicator

C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA in my instance
