I just downloaded the Jenkins WAR, version 1.651.1. I’m trying to set it up on my Amazon Linux box. I’m running Java 1.7. I moved the WAR into its own directory, /usr/share/java/jenkins, and then set JENKINS_HOME to be that directory. Then I ran the command listed here — https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins . Looked so simple on the web site. But wouldn’t you know it. Got the below error
