Windows service launches old version after upgrade
問題
After upgrading Bitbucket Server the Service launches the old Bitbucket Server release.

- The installation variable is referencing the old Bitbucket installation folder.

Sometimes, executing the command above might result on the following message:
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly. This environment variable is needed to run this program NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
If that happens to you, make sure your
JAVA_HOME
is pointing to a JDK as opposed to a JRE. For example, we've had customers pointing toc:\programs\java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre
and changing it temporarily intoc:\programs\java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre
with aSET JAVA_HOME=c:\programs\java\jdk1.8.0_05
before executing the command above fixes it. If there are still any issues removing the service, open a command prompt and run the following command to remove it: sc delete <ServiceName here>
Install the new service using the instructions from this document
2. Run Bitbucket in a new command prompt
If previously was a Bitbucket instance running, the INST_DIR variable was referring the old Bitbucket installation directory. It can be checked it by running this command:
echo %INST_DIR%
If it's the case, close and open a new command prompt and run bitbucket.
