Howto install JIRA on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx

Installing Sun Java 6 on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx

  • Make sure JAVA can be installed:
  • as root you'll need to run to add the appropriate repository:
add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

Setup your installation / JAVA environment correct:

  • install Java:
sudo apt-get install  sun-java6-sdk

sudo vi /etc/environment

  • add "JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun" to /etc/environment
sudo visudo
  • add this line "Defaults env_keep=JAVA_HOME"
vi ~jira/bin/setenv.sh

Tomcat will usually bind to your IPv6 loopback interface ::1.
  • To avoid this this add

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

  • to JAVA_OPTS in your jira/bin/setenv.sh startup file

After that you can folow the Atlassian JIRA Documentation for a standalone JIRA installation under Linux
