This page last changed on Mar 07, 2011 by rosie@atlassian.com.
After you have installed JIRA, and accessed its URL (eg. http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost:8080/jira ) for the first time, you will be presented with a brief setup wizard to configure JIRA. Step 1 of 3: Application PropertiesThe first page of the wizard is shown below. On this page you can set some of the JIRA configuration settings, and enter your license key. We strongly recommend that you specify a backup path as this will allow JIRA to periodically backup the database. JIRA configuration settingsFor more details on the settings and what they mean, see Configuring JIRA. The first page of the wizard will also prompt you to accept locations for the following:
Evaluation license keyYou are required to enter a valid license key before you can use JIRA. You can obtain an evaluation license key which will allow JIRA to run unrestricted for 30 days. To use your existing license key or obtain a new license key, follow the steps below:
Step 2 of 3: Administrator AccountAfter completing the first page, the second page of the wizard sets up an administrator account. Once this initial administrator account is created, that administrator can then create other administrators. Step 3 of 3: Email NotificationThe last page of the setup wizard allows you to configure the outgoing emails from JIRA. To disable email notifications (you can always enable them later), just click the Disable Email Notifications button. For the outgoing mail server choice, you must either specify the JNDI location of a javax.mail.Session object (usually provided by your application server) or specify the location of an SMTP server. You're done!Once you complete step 3, JIRA should be set up and ready for use. For information on getting started with JIRA, please refer to the following guides: Also note that you can click the help icon (yellow question-mark) in the upper right-hand corner at any time for further information. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
