JIRA creates directory conf/Catalina/localhost which is empty, and JIRA fails to start if conf directory is read-only

    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
    • Priority: Medium
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 5.2.3, 5.2.4
    • Component/s: Installation
    • 5.02

      In JIRA versions 5.2+, JIRA attempts to create the following directories:
      <jira-installation>/conf/Catalina/localhost/
      However, this folder is empty and it is not used. In Linux installations, the conf folder is read-only and this prevents JIRA from starting up as it attempts to create the Catalina/localhost in that folder.

      The correct folder location should be:
      <jira-installation>/work/Catalina/localhost/

      Seems to occur only in 5.2 and above. Tested with JIRA 5.2.3 and JIRA 5.2.4.
