Documentation for JIRA 4.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

There are some instances where the JIRA instance needs to be moved from one server to another.

Basic Steps

  1. Zip the Installation and Home directories and copy them to the new machine
  2. If moving the database, take an SQL dump and restore on the new machine.
  3. Inspect <atlassian-jira>/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties for the location of the JIRA Home directory.
  4. Inspect <</conf/server.xml}} for startup port and database connection URL.
