I installed jenkins (as root) and start the service but I cannot connect to the service:
wget http://localhost:8080/jenkins --09:31:54-- http://localhost:8080/jenkins => `jenkins' Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8080... failed: Connection refused. I installed as follows: sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat/jenkins.repo sudo rpm --import http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat/jenkins-ci.org.key yum install jenkins This is a virtual private server from Godaddy with Fedora release 7. It could be that port 8080 is blocked. I checked the port in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins and tried "8080" or "80" or "8081" without luck. Are there other ways to try it locally, in case some ports are blocked? Should I somehow route jenkins through Apache so that it doesn't require special 8080 ports? Disabling the local Apache server, httpd, doesn't help either /sbin/service httpd stop The Jenkins service can be started: /sbin/service jenkins start Starting Jenkins [ OK ] ls /var/run/jenkins /var/run/jenkins.pid So there seems to be a jenkins process started. /sbin/service jenkins stop Shutting down Jenkins [FAILED] ls /var/run/jenkins reports no file. Unfortunately there is no log file in /var/log/jenkins (the directory is empty) cat /etc/*-release reports Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) Is there a more verbose way to run Jenkins so that I can figure out what it wrong? Thanks a lot, Erwin
