Unable to find plugins in list of available plugins in jenkins

Question

I have installed Jenkins by deploying its WAR file to Tomcat. On typing

http://localhost:8080/jenkins

In browser

Answer 1

For me, the following works out. I experience this empty available list issue after a fresh install jenkins 1.638 on Ubuntu 1404 in virtual box. We're under an ISA proxy server.

Go to Jenkins->Manage Plugins->Advanced and setup the proxy as below:

Host: 192.168.x.x (your Proxy IP)

Port: 80 (Your proxy port)

Note that I find the format matters. I tried adding http:// it doesn't work. It has to be exactly like above.

Then hit the check now button in the bottom right as everyone else suggested. Then you get the list.
