Symptoms

After upgrading JIRA, the following error is thrown while viewing issues in specific projects:

ERROR
The project you are trying to view does not exist. Try browsing for projects.
If you think this message is wrong, please consult your administrators about getting the necessary permissions.

Cause

This error occurs due to a project key pattern previously configured in the previous JIRA version.

Resolution

Copy the previous values for the project key from the old version's %JIRA_HOME/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties file. See Configuring Project Keys for specific instructions.
