we recently upgraded our jenkins to 1.580.1 from version 1.532.2 and have had lots of issues with mailer,
we have 1.8 installed, however when I go into jenkins I get This version of Jenkins comes with new versions of the following plugins that are currently pinned <https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Pinned+Plugins> in the plugin manager <http://cc.velir.com:8080/pluginManager/>. It is recommended to upgrade them to at least the version bundled with Jenkins. - Jenkins Mailer Plugin When I go into plugins though it says I can upgrade to 1.12 and I have (1.8) in parentheses installed (it seems like it wants me to go back versions?) So next I went into instealled plugins and tried to disabled mailer after doing that in restarting jenkins I now get a screen that says I can't even start jenkins!! http://cc.velir.com:8080/j_acegi_security_check java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hudson/tasks/Mailer$UserProperty at hudson.plugins.active_directory.ActiveDirectoryUnixAuthenticationProvider.retrieveUser(ActiveDirectoryUnixAuthenticationProvider.java:296) at hudson.plugins.active_directory.ActiveDirectoryUnixAuthenticationProvider.retrieveUser(ActiveDirectoryUnixAuthenticationProvider.java:193) at hudson.plugins.active_directory.ActiveDirectoryUnixAuthenticationProvider.retrieveUser(ActiveDirectoryUnixAuthenticationProvider.java:137) at org.acegisecurity.providers.dao.AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider.authenticate(AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider.java:122) at org.acegisecurity.providers.ProviderManager.doAuthentication(ProviderManager.java:200) at org.acegisecurity.AbstractAuthenticationManager.authenticate(AbstractAuthenticationManager.java:47) at org.acegisecurity.ui.webapp.AuthenticationProcessingFilter.attemptAuthentication(AuthenticationProcessingFilter.java:74) at org.acegisecurity.ui.AbstractProcessingFilter.doFilter(AbstractProcessingFilter.java:252) at hudson.security.ChainedServletFilter$1.doFilter(ChainedServletFilter.java:87) at jenkins.security.BasicHeaderProcessor.doFilter(BasicHeaderProcessor.java:86) at hudson.security.ChainedServletFilter$1.doFilter(ChainedServletFilter.java:87) at org.acegisecurity.context.HttpSessionContextIntegrationFilter.doFilter(HttpSessionContextIntegrationFilter.java:249) at hudson.security.HttpSessionContextIntegrationFilter2.doFilter(HttpSessionContextIntegrationFilter2.java:67) at hudson.security.ChainedServletFilter$1.doFilter(ChainedServletFilter.java:87) at hudson.security.ChainedServletFilter.doFilter(ChainedServletFilter.java:76) at hudson.security.HudsonFilter.doFilter(HudsonFilter.java:164) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1482) at org.kohsuke.stapler.compression.CompressionFilter.doFilter(CompressionFilter.java:46) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1482) at hudson.util.CharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter(CharacterEncodingFilter.java:81) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1474) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doHandle(ServletHandler.java:499) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:137) at org.eclipse.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:533) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doHandle(SessionHandler.java:231) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doHandle(ContextHandler.java:1086) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doScope(ServletHandler.java:428) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doScope(SessionHandler.java:193) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doScope(ContextHandler.java:1020) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:135) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:116) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.handle(Server.java:370) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractHttpConnection.handleRequest(AbstractHttpConnection.java:489) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractHttpConnection.content(AbstractHttpConnection.java:960) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractHttpConnection$RequestHandler.content(AbstractHttpConnection.java:1021) at org.eclipse.jetty.http.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:865) at org.eclipse.jetty.http.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:240) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AsyncHttpConnection.handle(AsyncHttpConnection.java:82) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.nio.SelectChannelEndPoint.handle(SelectChannelEndPoint.java:668) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.nio.SelectChannelEndPoint$1.run(SelectChannelEndPoint.java:52) at winstone.BoundedExecutorService$1.run(BoundedExecutorService.java:77) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hudson.tasks.Mailer$UserProperty at jenkins.util.AntClassLoader.findClassInComponents(AntClassLoader.java:1375) at jenkins.util.AntClassLoader.findClass(AntClassLoader.java:1325) at jenkins.util.AntClassLoader.loadClass(AntClassLoader.java:1078) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ... 44 more I had to go into the config.xml in my jenkins home folder and comment all our security lines out then I had to disable jenkins access on my firewall from external users cause now I'm totally unsecure.
