Symptoms

Bamboo or the server on which it resides crashes. As a result, the bamboo.cfg.xml file gets truncated to a zero kb file. In contrast, the other folders within <bamboo-home> remain intact. The following appears in the atlassian-bamboo.log:

2011-05-09 13:32:06,318 ERROR [main] [DefaultAtlassianBootstrapManager] Home is not configured properly: com.atlassian.config.ConfigurationException: Failed to parse config file: Error on line -1 of document  : Premature end of file. Nested exception: Premature end of file.

Cause

The system ran out of disk space. This can also happen due to folder permissions.

Resolution

  1. Setup a new instance and ensure the setup is successful;
  2. Copy the bamboo.cfg.xml over to the old instance and make sure the license used is valid;
  3. Make the necessary changes such as the connection url to match the configuration in the older instance.
