Summary

The purpose of this knowledge article is to provide a way to determine the location of the Jira home directory.

Environment

Solution

To determine where the Jira home folder is located:

• Log into the Jira application as a Jira System Administrator
• Go to the page ⚙ > System > System Info
• Scroll down to the section File Paths
• The Jira home folder will be indicated in the field Location of Jira Local Home
