Symptoms

Accessing the Project Overview page generates the error "Tab panel 'com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel' failed to render."

The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

1 2 3 4 5 2014-08-26 11:54:17,184 http-bio-8443-exec-17 ERROR admin 714xxxxx1 1l9jpbu 172.16.100.59 /browse/BLU [jira.projects.web.BrowseProject] Tab panel 'com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel' failed to render java.lang.RuntimeException: Error generating chart at com.atlassian.jira.charts.CreatedVsResolvedChart.generateChart(CreatedVsResolvedChart.java:231) at com.atlassian.jira.charts.DefaultChartFactory.generateCreatedVsResolvedChart(DefaultChartFactory.java:61) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor1376.invoke(Unknown Source)

Cause

The cause is lack of File System permission:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Caused by: java.io.IOException: Permission denied at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) at java.io.File.createTempFile(Unknown Source) at com.atlassian.jira.charts.jfreechart.ChartHelper.getChartTempFile(ChartHelper.java:164) Caused by: java.io.IOException: No such file or directory at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:1006) at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1989)

Resolution

Make sure that the user configured to run JIRA has Full control on the temp folder in JIRA Installation directory (JIRA_Install/temp). JIRA is trying to create a temporary file in getting the Chart information but the user doesn't have the necessary permission in the said folder.

  1. Stop your JIRA application.

  2. Fix the permissions for the below directories and all of their subdirectories:

    1 2 3 4 $JIRA_HOME/ $JIRA_INSTALL/logs $JIRA_INSTALL/temp $JIRA_INSTALL/work

    ℹ️ If you're using JIRA applications Data Center, ensure that every node has access to the shared home directory.

    Expand for Linux instructions...

    These instructions refer to the default user, group & installation paths for JIRA applications, as if it were installed using the bundled installer. If you're unsure of what these permissions should be, please consult with your System Administrator and the user who installed the JIRA application.

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 sudo chown -R jira:jira /var/atlassian/application-data/jira sudo chown -R jira:jira /opt/atlassian/jira/logs sudo chown -R jira:jira /opt/atlassian/jira/temp sudo chown -R jira:jira /opt/atlassian/jira/work chmod -R u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx /var/atlassian/application-data/jira chmod -R u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx /opt/atlassian/jira/logs chmod -R u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx /opt/atlassian/jira/temp chmod -R u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx /opt/atlassian/jira/work

    ℹ️ Repeat the same commands above for the shared home if using JIRA applications Data Center.

    ℹ️ Check the context labels if you're using Podman volumes and SELinux

    Expand for Windows instructions...

    Please refer to this Techotopia documentation for further information.

  3. Start JIRA application.
