Symptoms

A message such as the following is displayed when trying to install a plugin using the Universal Plugin Manager:

1 2 3 4 The system attempted to connect to http://<SOME_IP_ADDRESS>:7990/rest/plugins/1.0/pending/31780996-ff30-4041-8405-642cf500210b to retrieve the status of your operation, but failed. This may indicate a problem with the base URL configuration of your instance. Try refreshing the page to see if the operation completed, and see the UPM documentation for more details about this error.

Cause

  1. An incorrect Base URL is configured and does not match the proxyName parameter in the server.xml file if you have a proxy.

  2. Configure the proxy parameters properly (redirectPort, scheme, proxyName) depending on your scenario and review the reverse proxy settings.

If you are running Bitbucket Server 5.0+

As of Bitbucket Server 5.0, the connector properties have changed and are now configured in bitbucket.properties.

The proxy properties are now proxy-name, proxy-port, etc. More information is available in Proxy and secure Bitbucket.

Resolution

  1. Please refer to Specify the Bitbucket base URL.

  2. Depending on your scenario you have to use the documents below:

    1. Securing Bitbucket Server with Apache using SSL

    2. Integrating Bitbucket Server with Apache HTTP Server

  3. You can always update the plugin manually. Refer to Updating the Universal Plugin Manager.
