Jenkins fails when running “service start jenkins”

Question

I installed jenkins on Cnetos 7 using the following:

sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
sudo rpm --impor         


        

Answer 1

In my case I were starting jenkins service from root instead of jenkins user

i did

sed -i 's/JENKINS_USER="jenkins"/JENKINS_USER="root"/g  /etc/sysconfig/jenkins

then

service jenkins restart

all work well
