Problem
JIRA needs to run on a specific IP address.
Resolution
- Edit the
server.xml
used by Tomcat which runs JIRA Find the connector you are currently using. The default one looks like:
Stock connector<Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/>
Add the address property like so:
Stock connector<Connector address="127.0.0.1" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/>
