Running Jenkins on port 80
Hi All I have an install of Jenkins on an Ubuntu VM. I want it to run on port 80 rather port 8080 as I want to run a development Tomcat on port 8080. Goolging suggests the only way to do this is to use Apache to redirect from 80 to 8080, but that still leaves Jenkins running on 8080 which doesn't fix my problem. Has anyone solved this? -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: paul.grenyer@gmail.com b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com t: pjgrenyer

I have no idea what Jenkins is (I had a look as I've not heard of it) but I'm guessing that it's this: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins On that page it gives one of the startup command line options as --httpPort so I'd suggest you try adding --httpPort=80 to the startup command line and see what happens.

Hi Adam

Thanks! I found where I think the Jenkins command line is: /etc/init.d/jenkins 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. -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: paul.grenyer@gmail.com b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com t: pjgrenyer

80 probably won't work because one needs to be root to get any port under 1024 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?

That might read from /etc/default/jenkins or similar which might have conflicting options causing:

Not /var/log/jenkins? Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. Webmaster, Debian Developer, Past Koha RM, statistician, former lecturer.

Hi

Yeah, I'd read that in a few places and was hoping it was wrong. ;-)

I'd tried 8081 and that didn't work either. However....

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.

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! -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: paul.grenyer@gmail.com b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com t: pjgrenyer
