If you have configured jenkins on ec2 instance with linux AMI and looking to change the port. Edit the file at

sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/jenkins

Edit

JENKINS_PORT="your port number"

Exit vim

:wq

Restart jenkins

sudo service jenkins restart

Or simply start it, if its not already running

sudo service jenkins start

To verify if your jenkins is running on mentioned port

netstat -lntu | grep "your port number"
