      Summary

      Jira fails to start on Solaris when executing the startup manually. This also happens when upgrading instance manually.

      Environment

      • JIRA 7.13.1 running on Solaris.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Run the start-jira.sh or else check-java.sh and try to start Jira.

      Expected Results

      Jira starts without issue.

      Actual Results

      There's a grep -E on the check-java.sh that is avoiding Jira to check what the Java version is. Solaris cannot use the -E option on grep as the syntax for recursively grep is different on Solaris.

      #!/bin/sh

_EXPECTED_JAVA_VERSION="8"

#

    check for correct java version by parsing out put of java -version
    we expect first line to be in format '(java|openjdk) version "1.8.0_40"' and assert that minor version number will be 8 or higher
    #

"$_RUNJAVA" -version 2>&1 | grep -E "(java|openjdk) version" | (
IFS=. read ignore1 version ignore2
if [ ! ${version:-0} -ge "$_EXPECTED_JAVA_VERSION" ]
then
echo "*************************************************************************************************************************************"
echo "********** Wrong JVM version! You are running with "$ignore1"."$version"."$ignore2" but JIRA requires at least 1.8 to run. **********"
echo "*************************************************************************************************************************************"
exit 1
fi
)
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
exit 1
fi

      Workaround

      Edit the check-java.sh file and remove the -E option off the grep to be able to start Jira.
