Symptoms

Bamboo fails to start and cannot find the database; on the UI it might show the setup wizard; logs look like:

Cause

The <Bamboo_Home>/bamboo.cfg.xml file is truncated. Sometimes when Bamboo crashes due to insufficient disc space, it might corrupt the bamboo.cfg.xml  file. Here is the related JAC ticket: BAM-11596 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Resolution

Please shut down your Bamboo server, and make sure that bamboo.cfg.xml file contains all the necessary fields. For example, with Bamboo 4.1, using MySQL5, 'bamboo41' database name and localhost IP address for Broker URI (used for Remote agent communication), the file will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<application-configuration>
  <setupStep>complete</setupStep>
  <setupType>custom</setupType>
  <buildNumber>3100</buildNumber>
  <properties>
    <property name="bamboo.artifacts.directory">${bambooHome}/artifacts</property>
    <property name="bamboo.config.directory">${bambooHome}/xml-data/configuration</property>
    <property name="bamboo.jms.broker.client.uri">failover:(tcp://127.0.0.1:54663?wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=300000)?maxReconnectAttempts=10&amp;initialReconnectDelay=15000</property>
    <property name="bamboo.jms.broker.uri">tcp://0.0.0.0:54663?wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=300000</property>
    <property name="bamboo.project.directory">${bambooHome}/xml-data/builds</property>
    <property name="buildWorkingDir">${bambooHome}/xml-data/build-dir</property>
    <property name="daily.backup.dir">${bambooHome}/backups</property>
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment">1</property>
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">100</property>
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">25</property>
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">0</property>
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">0</property>
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">30</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">_your_DB_password_goes_here_</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/bamboo41?autoReconnect=true</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">_your_DB_username_goes_here_</property>
    <property name="hibernate.dialect">com.atlassian.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
    <property name="hibernate.setup">true</property>
    <property name="license.string">_your_license_goes_here_</property>
    <property name="lucene.index.dir">${bambooHome}/index</property>
    <property name="serverId">_your_ServerID_goes_here_</property>
    <property name="webwork.multipart.saveDir">${bambooHome}/temp</property>
  </properties>
</application-configuration>

In order to be sure that you are using all the correct configuration details, just try to install a test instance from scratch. After you are done, copy the content of BAMBOO_HOME/bamboo.cfg.xml  file from the new instance into the one from the corrupted instance. You need to make sure that you are using correct:

  • license: <property name="license.string">_your_license_goes_here_</property>
  • database name: <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/_your_DN_name_goes_here_?autoReconnect=true</property>
  • database username: <property name="hibernate.connection.username">_your_DB_username_goes_here_</property>
  • database password: <property name="hibernate.connection.password">_your_DB_password_goes_here_</property>
  • ServerID: <property name="serverId">_your_ServerID_goes_here_</property>

After crafting your <BAMBOO_HOME>/bamboo.cfg.xml  file manually, start your Bamboo server, and it should work properly again. You might need to delete <BAMBOO_HOME>/jms-store/bamboo/KahaDB  and <BAMBOO_HOME>/caches  directories and restart your Bamboo server if you confront problems while starting Bamboo.
