Can not run Jenkins on Mac

Question

I have downloaded Mac OS X native package from Jenkins web site, installed it, opened my browser at http://localhost:8080/ and got error page with this text:

Status Code: 404 Exception: Request URL / not found.<br><br> Stacktrace: Generated by Winstone Servlet Engine v0.9.10 at Tue Nov 29 12:00:52 CET 2011 

I have found jenkins.war in /Applications/Jenkins and tried running it with java -jar jenkins.war:

$ pwd /Applications/Jenkins   $ ls jenkins.war  $ java -jar jenkins.war Running from: /Applications/Jenkins/jenkins.war webroot: $user.home/.jenkins [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:03:12] - Beginning extraction from war file Jenkins home directory: /Users/zeljko/.jenkins found at: $user.home/.jenkins [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:03:16] - Winstone shutdown successfully [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:03:16] - Container startup failed java.io.IOException: Failed to start a listener: winstone.HttpListener     at winstone.Launcher.spawnListener(Launcher.java:250)     at winstone.Launcher.<init>(Launcher.java:202)     at winstone.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:398)     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)     at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)     at Main._main(Main.java:268)     at Main.main(Main.java:96) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to listen on port 8080     at winstone.HttpListener.getServerSocket(HttpListener.java:117)     at winstone.HttpListener.start(HttpListener.java:70)     at winstone.Launcher.spawnListener(Launcher.java:241)     ... 8 more Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:383)     at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:328)     at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:194)     at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:150)     at winstone.HttpListener.getServerSocket(HttpListener.java:112)     ... 10 more  Nov 29, 2011 12:03:16 PM jenkins.model.Jenkins$6 onAttained INFO: Started initialization Nov 29, 2011 12:03:16 PM hudson.WebAppMain$2 run SEVERE: Failed to initialize Jenkins java.lang.InterruptedException     at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)     at java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:485)     at org.jvnet.hudson.reactor.Reactor.execute(Reactor.java:244)     at jenkins.model.Jenkins.executeReactor(Jenkins.java:816)     at jenkins.model.Jenkins.<init>(Jenkins.java:730)     at hudson.model.Hudson.<init>(Hudson.java:81)     at hudson.model.Hudson.<init>(Hudson.java:77)     at hudson.WebAppMain$2.run(WebAppMain.java:217) 

Since the error message says Address already in use I have tried running it on another port:

$ java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8081 Running from: /Applications/Jenkins/jenkins.war webroot: $user.home/.jenkins [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:11:26] - Beginning extraction from war file Jenkins home directory: /Users/zeljko/.jenkins found at: $user.home/.jenkins [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:11:27] - HTTP Listener started: port=8081 [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:11:27] - Winstone shutdown successfully [Winstone 2011/11/29 12:11:27] - Container startup failed java.io.IOException: Failed to start a listener: winstone.ajp13.Ajp13Listener     at winstone.Launcher.spawnListener(Launcher.java:250)     at winstone.Launcher.<init>(Launcher.java:203)     at winstone.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:398)     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)     at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)     at Main._main(Main.java:268)     at Main.main(Main.java:96) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to listen on port 8009     at winstone.ajp13.Ajp13Listener.start(Ajp13Listener.java:92)     at winstone.Launcher.spawnListener(Launcher.java:241)     ... 8 more Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:383)     at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:328)     at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:194)     at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:150)     at winstone.ajp13.Ajp13Listener.start(Ajp13Listener.java:87)     ... 9 more  Nov 29, 2011 12:11:27 PM jenkins.model.Jenkins$6 onAttained INFO: Started initialization Nov 29, 2011 12:11:27 PM hudson.WebAppMain$2 run SEVERE: Failed to initialize Jenkins java.lang.InterruptedException     at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)     at java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:485)     at org.jvnet.hudson.reactor.Reactor.execute(Reactor.java:244)     at jenkins.model.Jenkins.executeReactor(Jenkins.java:816)     at jenkins.model.Jenkins.<init>(Jenkins.java:730)     at hudson.model.Hudson.<init>(Hudson.java:81)     at hudson.model.Hudson.<init>(Hudson.java:77)     at hudson.WebAppMain$2.run(WebAppMain.java:217) 

But I get Address already in use error message, it does not matter which port I try.

I have stopped Firewall, just in case (System Preferences > Security > Firewall > Stop). It did not help.

I have copied jenkins.war to /Users/zeljko/Jenkins and tried running it with java -jar jenkins.war and java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8081. The same error messages.

I have downloaded Latest and greatest (1.441) jenkins.war from the web site, moved it to /Users/zeljko/Jenkins, and tried java -jar jenkins.war and java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8081. The same error messages.

Environment:

Mac OS X 10.6.8

$ java -version java version "1.6.0_29" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode) 

I am browsing Jenkins web site, wiki, book, searching around, but I just do not get what I have to do to get it working.

Answer 1

The issue appears to have been added to Jenkins' Jira, and hopefully will be fixed soon: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11714?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

On my 10.7.2 installation I've made it work by creating the missing Home folder and changing the owner of the Jenkins.

After installing Jenkins, run the following commands:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home sudo chown -R daemon /Users/Shared/Jenkins sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist 

Answer 2

This fixed the problem:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist 

After that I could run java -jar jenkins.war at /Users/zeljko/Jenkins.
