Your JIRA home directory can become locked if you accidentally configure two JIRA instances to use the same directory or your JIRA instance terminates abnormally and fails to unlock the JIRA home directory. This will prevent your JIRA instance from running.

To unlock your JIRA home directory, follow the instructions below:

  1. Verify that no running JIRA instances are configured to use the specified JIRA home. If there are running JIRA instances that are configured to use the specified JIRA home, shut them down and change the JIRA home directory to a different location.
  2. Remove the file .jira-home.lock. This file is located in your JIRA home directory.
  3. Restart JIRA.
