upgrade_Start new JIRA version
- Verify that your old JIRA installation is shut down — if this JIRA server is still operating, shut it down.
- If you installed the JIRA WAR distribution within Tomcat, delete the Tomcat work directory before restarting JIRA. If you do not do this, users may encounter errors when they try to display JIRA pages.
- Start up your new version of JIRA. For:
- 'Recommended' distributions — follow the Starting JIRA instructions.
- WAR distributions — follow the instructions for starting JIRA for your application server within the Installing JIRA WAR section.
During the startup process, your new JIRA installation will create any required database indexes. If you created any custom database indexes, please check them afterwards and remove any that duplicate the indexes added by JIRA.
Do not restart your old JIRA installation...
If your new JIRA 6.4 installation is on the same server as your old one, it may still be configured to use the same JIRA Home directory as your new JIRA installation. Running two separate JIRA installations which share a common JIRA Home directory can lead to serious data corruption.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you do not delete any aspect (or backed up component) of your old JIRA installation, until you are satisfied that your upgraded JIRA installation is functioning as expected.
