changing home directory and installation directory

[Surender Reddy]

HI friends,

 we are using Jira 7.3.3 our directory structure for home dir is /var/atlassain/applicationdata/jira/7.3.3/ and installation directory is /opt/atlassian/jira/7.3.3 so now we want to change the name of dir 7.3.3 to 7.6.9 because we are upgrading it to 7.6.9. can anyone tell me how to do this?

mv /var/atlassain/applicationdata/jira/7.3.3/ /var/atlassain/applicationdata/jira/7.6.9

1. Install Jira 7.6.9 in to /opt/atlassian/jira/7.6.9. (Using "standalone" version is easiest)
2. Edit /opt/atlassian/jira/7.6.9/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties
3. Set "jira.home" to be /var/atlassain/applicationdata/jira/7.6.9

Start Jira and it will see the config and upgrade the data.
