Why my self hosted jira broke completely due to javascript error?

[kapusj01]

Unfortunately neither server restart, nor browser refreshes helped. I would be very grateful for help as it makes Jira impossible to use for whole team.

Looks like the javascript got corrupted. Couple of things for you to check.

1. Restart Jira and watch the atlassian-jira.log file. If it complains about generating files etc - it could be a problem with file permissions.

2. Restart Jira in safe mode (without plugins) by executing:

./start-jira.sh --disable-all-addons

If it comes up and works then your issue is an add-on. If this is the case go through each add-on and enable it until Jira "breaks" again..
