Hey everyone!
I’ve got JIRA running on port 8080, but I want to access it through a subdomain instead. I tried following some instructions to integrate it with Apache, and now the old address redirects to the subdomain I want. But when I go there, nothing shows up!
I’m restarting Apache after each change, but no luck. Any ideas what I might be missing? I’m pretty stuck and could use some help.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Installed JIRA (works on port 8080)
- Set up Apache integration
- Created subdomain redirect
What else should I check? Thanks in advance for any tips!
I’ve encountered similar issues when setting up JIRA with a custom subdomain. One often overlooked step is configuring the base URL in JIRA itself. Log into JIRA as an admin, go to System > General Configuration, and update the Base URL to match your new subdomain. This ensures JIRA generates correct links internally.
Also, double-check your Apache configuration. Make sure you’ve set up a proper reverse proxy to forward requests from the subdomain to JIRA’s local port. The VirtualHost block should include ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives pointing to your JIRA instance.
If you’re still having trouble, examining Apache’s error logs might provide more insight into what’s going wrong. They’re usually located in /var/log/apache2/ or /var/log/httpd/ depending on your system.
hey dude, i had the same issue. make sure ur apache conf file is set up right. check the virtualhost entry matches ur subdomain. also, double check the proxypass settings. sometimes its just a typo thats messin things up. good luck!
Been there, done that! Setting up JIRA with a custom subdomain can be tricky. One thing that saved me a ton of headaches was checking the firewall settings. Make sure your firewall isn’t blocking traffic to the new subdomain or the port JIRA’s running on.
Another lifesaver was verifying the DNS records. Sometimes it takes a while for DNS changes to propagate, so what looks like a configuration issue might just be a waiting game.
If you’re still stuck, try clearing your browser cache or testing from a different device. I once spent hours troubleshooting only to realize it was a caching issue on my end.
Lastly, don’t forget to update any SSL certificates if you’re using HTTPS. Mismatched certs can cause silent failures that are hard to spot. Good luck!
