Jira Admin - Upgrading Jira to version 8.6.1 on CentOS

Useful... Thanks for sharing

Great Guide! Only thing I would add is that JIRA has a 'JIRA Upgrade Check' near the bottom of the "Manage apps" page that you can check pre-upgrade. This will tell you what apps will need updating, what apps are good as is, etc. But that is quiet the Jump for JIRA in one upgrade, great job!

Hi sir, If possible, Can you make video on Topic Jira to database configuration and taking backup restore?

[@ravs]

Sure let me make a note of it.

thanks for sharing! when you extracted to wrong dir i think it's quicker to use "mv" to move the dir rather then delete and extract again

[@ravs]

Thanks for the info!

This is really helpful, can you upload the steps for Windows upgrade?

Hi Ravi, This is very useful lecture for us as we are also upgrading our JIRA instance. Could you please confirm in the video you have mentioned "Application directory" right that means it is "Installation Directory" ?

[@ravs]

Yes it is installation directory where you have the files downloaded from Atlassian.

Hi ravi, can you please add one video how to do migration from jira cloud to jira server instance

[@ravs]

Hello. Migrations are complicated and it requires lot of time to explain it in one video. I might start a separate series on this topic in future. Let me think about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello! How does your Jira understand that it should look to the "current"? Is it set somewhere in the config?

[@ravs]

Yes the service running Jira should point to this location.
