Notes:

  1. JIRA is a pure Java-based application and should run on any supported operating system, provided that the JDK / JRE requirements are satisfied.
  2. Atlassian only officially supports JIRA running on x86 hardware and 64-bit derivatives of x86 hardware. If you are installing JIRA from an archive, you should create a dedicated user account on the operating system to run JIRA, since JIRA runs as the user it is invoked under and therefore can potentially be abused.
  3. Although the JIRA Linux Installer is designed to install successfully on all 'flavours' of Linux, we only test the JIRA Linux Installer on CentOS Linux. If you encounter problems with the JIRA Linux Installer on your particular flavour of Linux, we recommend installing JIRA on Linux from an archive file.
  4. Deploying multiple Atlassian applications in a single Tomcat container is not supported. Please see Deploying Multiple Atlassian Applications in a Single Tomcat Container for reasons why we do not support this configuration.
  5. JIRA ships with a built-in database (HyperSQL DataBase or HSQLDB). While this database is suitable for evaluation purposes, it is susceptible to data loss during system crashes. Hence, for production environments we strongly recommend that you configure JIRA to use an external database.
  6. Please refer to our Patch Policy on fixing browser issues.
  7. Minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 (when these browsers are maximised). 
  8. Firefox version 3.6.0 possesses a bug that could result in data loss when used with JIRA. If you use this version of Firefox, please either upgrade your version of Firefox to 3.6.2 or above (preferably 5.0), or refer to our Firefox 3.6.0 caveats document for more details about this issue and how to avoid it.

    There is at least one known issue with using Internet Explorer 7 and JIRA version 4.3.2, as reported at JRA-24342 (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-24342).  This issue is still present in JIRA version 4.3.4, the current version of JIRA as of July 17, 2011.

    When will Jira support Java SE 7 now that its final release is out for some time?

      When JDK 7 stops breaking critical Jira functionality:

        According to the release notes of JDK 7u1 these should be fixed; see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u1-relnotes-507962.html

        We have 7u2 out for a while which is pretty stable. Tomcat 7 is now at 7.0.23 and still not support by Jira? Come on guys...

    I find it interesting that Atlassian includes a requirement for Java, as the Windows package comes bundled with it - Jira 4.4.1 has 6 Update 26.  If you refer to the service.bat file you can see that the process ignores what you currently have installed, regardless of your %JAVA_HOME%, and forces you to use the version JIRA ships with:

    Sure, one could manually edit the fie so that it uses the JDK/JRE you want, but something tells me that voids warranties :|

    Is there seriously no support for PostgreSQL 9? 8.4 is two major versions behind the current release. Are there any actually known problems with PostgreSQL 9?

    Hi,

    Is there any plans to support JDK 7 Jira 5.0 OR is that support planned for a later Jira 5.x release?

     

    Regards.

    Hi
    Which of the two databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server) would you recommend for a new Installation of JIRA. In our company we use by default Oracle.
    Thank you and best regards

    Plz update this table because IE 7.0 or MySQL 5.0 is not supported anymore.
