How to start jenkins on different port rather than

Question

I have jenkins.war and I started it from command prompt in Windows as:

java -jar jenkins.war

It was started well and easily browsed as http://localhost:8080

I want to start on 9090 port. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Add the following two lines after DAEMON_ARGS in the file /etc/init.d/jenkins

HTTP_PORT=8010
JENKINS_ARGS="--httpPort=$HTTP_PORT"

Answer 2

Use the following command at command prompt:

java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=9090

If you want to use https use the following command:

java -jar jenkins.war --httpsPort=9090

Details are here

Answer 3

For the benefit of Linux users who find themselves here: I found /etc/sysconfig/jenkins has a JENKINS_PORT="8080", which you should probably change too.

Answer 4

You can call

java -jar jenkins.war --help

to see a list of all available parameters.

Answer 5

Correct, use --httpPort parameter. If you also want to specify the $JENKINS_HOME, you can do like this:

java -DJENKINS_HOME=/Users/Heros/jenkins -jar jenkins.war  --httpPort=8484

Answer 6

Change the '/etc/init.d/jenkins' shell

check_tcp_port "http" "$HTTP_PORT" "8080" || return 1

Change 8080 to whichever you want
