Cause
Some possibilities exist:
- An Incompatible JVM (e.g. OpenJDK) is being referenced.
or - A repository index/cache has become corrupt.
or - An internal database has become corrupt (data0.bin).
Resolution
Based in order of the possible causes above:
Double check that the application references (via JAVA_HOME) a compatible JVM as identified on our Supported platforms page.
or
- Removing the index/cache will cause the repository index to be recreated and depending on the size of the repository this process can be lengthy.
- Replacing the index/cache with a backup will retard the repository index state to that of the backup and require that the index catch up to the present time. This is preferred to removing the index/cache completely.
Either remove the repository index/cache or replace it with a backup copy:
1) Identify the problematic repository.
2) Stop the application.
3) Remove the <FISHEYE_INST>/var/cache/<reponame> directory where <reponame> is the name of your repository.
4) Start the application.
or
- Removing this internal database will cause you to lose defined user groups, group memberships, user watches, and existing notifications.
- Replacing this internal database will overwrite any changes made since the backup was created.
Either remove the repository index/cache or replace it with a backup copy:
1) Stop the application.
3) Remove the file: <FISHEYE_INST>/var/data/data0.bin
4) Start the application.
