Jira account missing after switching from HSQL to PostgreSQL

[Joe Detjen]

After installing JIRA and stepping through the Setup Application Properties wizard, one administrator account was created.  Using this account, about the only thing I have done was to install a plugin and licenses.  Now that my PostgreSQL database has been set up, I ran the config.sh tool to reconfigure the database.  I entered the database connection parameters and it test OK, so I saved the configuration changes.  Now when I try to log into JIRA, it wants to go through the Set Up Application Properties wizard again.  When I enter values and press Next, I get error:

Error adding service java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.  Multiple services with name "Backup Service" exist.

What do I need to do to convince JIRA that I have already run the wizard?  How do I log in if JIRA will not let me use the internal admin account that I already set up?

I am going to try running config.sh again to change the database back to HSQL, perform a backup, switch back to postgreSQL, and perform a restore. Is there a better way to fix this. Am I going to make matters worse by doing this?
