Jenkins server is not accessible by host name (ip address)

Question

I setup jenkins on my Mac OS X with homebrew and it works just fine via http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080 I couldn't access jenkins instance via hostname/ipaddress:

 1. http://myjenkinshost.local:8080  2. http://192.168.0.100:8080 

Both links are not accessible even from local computer (jenkins host itself). Same time commands ping 192.168.0.100 and ping myjenkinshost.local work just fine.

Answer 1

It turned out that launch agent was configured to listen only 127.0.0.1 (or localhost). To fixed that edit jenkins agent's plist:

nano /Users/admin/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins.plist 

and modify httpListenAddress to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$ <plist version="1.0">   <dict>     <key>Label</key>     <string>homebrew.mxcl.jenkins</string>     <key>ProgramArguments</key>     <array>       <string>/usr/bin/java</string>       <string>-Dmail.smtp.starttls.enable=true</string>       <string>-jar</string>       <string>/usr/local/opt/jenkins/libexec/jenkins.war</string>       <string>--httpListenAddress=0.0.0.0</string>       <string>--httpPort=8080</string>     </array>     <key>RunAtLoad</key>     <true/>   </dict> </plist> 

Answer 2

The correct location of the file to edit is /usr/local/opt/jenkins/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins.plist
