About the JIRA Configuration ToolJIRA Configuration Tool is a GUI application that you can run before you start the JIRA Web Server, in order to configure the JIRA Home Directory and the Database Connection. The application can be run again at a later date, but you must restart JIRA in order to pick up the new settings. The Configuration Tool is available in JIRA Standalone edition only. People using the WAR edition must still manually change the configuration files. Starting the Configuration Tool
