Jira: 5.1.2

When trying to update the Plugin Manager, an error occurs: "An error was encountered while updating the UPM. Please see the logs for more details."

Looking into the logs shows the following. Any ideas?

Hey there, Lem.

I would recommend you to try the following steps first and perform the upgrade again.

  1. Shutdown JIRA instance
  2. Delete the contents of JIRA Home Directory\plugins\.osgi-plugins directory
  3. Delete the contents of JIRA Home Directory\plugins\.bundled-plugins directory
  4. Delete the contents of JIRA Installation Directory\work directory
  5. Restart JIRA instance
  6. Try to perform the upgrade again

Else, you can try to perform the alternative way of installing UPM by referring to the documentation:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA051/Managing+JIRA%27s+Plugins#ManagingJIRA'sPlugins-InstallingaJIRAPlugin

Hope this helps!

Warm regards,

Danial

Werner,

The above stack trace indicates that you bumped into a bug: UPM self update is broken

In this case, I don't think the indexing will likely fix the problem but, I'm sure that updating UPM by file upload should work.

Cheers,

Vicky

Or you can refer to this KB article - Update fails when updating from UPM 2.7.8 or 2.7.9 to newer versions
