Troubleshooting installation in Jira Service Management

If you run into issues with your Jira, refer to the information below to complete your installation.

Installation tips

If your web browser window shows an error the first time you try to access Jira , wait for 30 seconds or so and then refresh the page.
If the command prompt window closes immediately, your JAVA_HOME variable may not be set correctly.
Some anti-virus or other Internet security tools may interfere with the Jira installation process and prevent the process from completing successfully. If you experience or anticipate experiencing such an issue with your anti-virus/Internet security tool, disable this tool first before proceeding with the Jira installation.
If you install on Linux, the Linux OOM Killer can sometimes kill Jira processes when memory on the server becomes too low. See How to Configure the Linux Out-of-Memory Killer.
