Will JIRA clash with Plesk on Install

I have a dedicated hosting account that is managed using Plesk (i am not very comfortable with Linux command line - learning). Plesk is fine as its easy to use for managing different web spaces.

  1. I want to know if i install JIRA on the same server will i run into any issues with Plesk. I believe the ports used for Plesk and JIRA are not the same (8080 for JIRA).
  2. Are there any good walk throughs for doing so
  3. Any recommendations on the install process
  4. Eventually, i want JIRA to be accessed via subdomain url j.domain.com and not xx.xxx.xx.xx:xxxx. how could i set this up

thanks a lot!

Solution

  • Yes, JIRA can be installed on Plesk server without any issues.

    1. There is port clash only with Tomcat, so if you have it installed JIRA installer suggest you to choose another port.

    2. # wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira-software-7.2.4-x64.bin
# chmod +x atlassian-jira-software-7.2.4-x64.bin
# ./atlassian-jira-software-7.2.4-x64.bin

      • It's better to use MySQL database if you haven't experience with PostgreSQL.

      • JIRA installer always silently fallback to built in H2 file database in case of issue with provided DB settings

      • you have to create domain, database and mail user in plesk

    4. You have to enable proxy_http in Tools&Settings > Apache Web Server and create file /httpdocs/.htaccess in j.domain.com domain to redirect requests to JIRA:

      RewriteEngine  on
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/$1 [P,L]

    SMTP settings: JIRA SMTP server settings
