Restarting JIRA from the Setup Wizard

If you ever want to restart JIRA from the Setup Wizard again:

  1. Stop JIRA by running either bin\shutdown.bat (for Windows) or bin/shutdown.sh (for Linux/Solaris) in your JIRA Installation Directory (or the Apache Tomcat installation directory running the JIRA WAR distribution).
    (info) If JIRA is running as a JIRA or Tomcat service, stop the relevant service.
  2. Make a backup of your JIRA Home Directory and JIRA Installation Directory.
  3. Delete the dbconfig.xml file in your JIRA Home Directory.
  4. Restart JIRA and access your JIRA server from a browser.
    (info) JIRA will detect that no database configuration is present and will take you through the JIRA Setup Wizard again.
