Hi
80 probably won't work because one needs to be root to get any port under 1024
Yeah, I'd read that in a few places and was hoping it was wrong. ;-)
and jenkins will probably drop root privs fairly quickly, or the init script will use a tool like sudo or daemon to drop them before starting jenkins proper. Try 8000?
I'd tried 8081 and that didn't work either. However....
Thanks! I found where I think the Jenkins command line is: /etc/init.d/jenkins
That might read from /etc/default/jenkins or similar which might have conflicting options causing:
Yes! That's where I needed to change the port. I now have Jenkins running on 8000 which will do nicely for now (as it frees up 8080 for TomCat) and I can do a redirect from Apacahe web server if I need too.
but adding httpPort and restarting just kills Jenkins. I realise you're not familiar with Jenkins, so this is just an update really. I need to track down the logs too.
Not /var/log/jenkins?
That's where i looked after i sent my last reply. Couldn't see anything though. Doesn't matter for the time being.
Hope that helps,
It did! Thanks! I can finally stop banging my head against the wall and do some development work!
