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

To change the default port of 8080. All you need to do:

1. Goto Jenkins folder present in C:\Program Files (x86)
2. Open a notepad or text pad and run them as administrator and then try opening the jenkins.xml file present in the jenkins folder.
3. Change the port number as below: <arguments>-Xrs -Xmx256m -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar "%BASE%\jenkins.war" --httpPort=9090</arguments>
4. Click Save.

Answer 2

On Windows (with Windows Service).

Edit the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jenkins.xml with 8083 if you want 8083 port.

<arguments>-Xrs -Xmx256m -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar "%BASE%\jenkins.war" --httpPort=8083</arguments>
