Jira Data Center installed in Windows or Linux environment
Diagnosis
Verify whether there was an error during the upgrade if exe file was used to upgrade Jira.
- Verify whether the JIRA_INSTALL directory copied from one node to another has the same contents, and if the permissions of all files match.
Cause
- This problem can happen if during the upgrade process, the upgrade wizard throws "Error while attempting to remove the previous installation directory. Some files may be in use. Please close all related programs and try again." error and user choose to skip the error instead of fixing the cause of the error.
- Another known cause is when copying the contents of JIRA_INSTALL from one node to another after the installer was originally used to deploy the first node.
- Another common cause is that the error is caused by 3rd-party apps, which can be verified by the first line of the error message.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, follow the suggestion below:
- Ensure that user executing the installer has the appropriate permissions to the JIRA directory.
- Stop the JIRA service prior to executing the upgrade.
- Check that no applications are accessing those files during the upgrade process. In Windows, this can be done with the Process Explorer using Find as in the below example:
- If the issue is occuring when deploying additional nodes, we recommend:
- Renaming the previous JIRA_INSTALL directory instead of trying to overwrite the files, or;
- Following the steps from the section 5. Add the remaining nodes to the cluster - If Jira was installed using a .bin or .exe installer on the first node of the KB article Installing Jira Data Center.
