I am trying to get JIRA to run on an amazon ec2 t1.micro instance but it won't start. If I try to run the same AMI on an m1.small machine, it will work fine.
I have done some research and this is because JIRA maxes out the CPU on startup. This causes amazon to throttle the CPU of the instance right down. Jira then takes too long to load the core plugins and gives up/stops.
I have tried increasing the timeout to 300 seconds as per this blog, but it still doesn't work.
I'm trying to run this on: Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 AMI provided by amazon.
This is for an extremely small project with 3 developers and we don't mind if it's slow or anything like that, we just want it to work. Any suggestions?
