Unable to access Jenkins I newly installed Jenkins but for some reason I cannot access it

Question

 When I start Jenkins, I get an "OK" status message but if I run ‘status-all | grep jenkins’ it displays:

jenkins dead but pid file exists

Answer 1

Try changing the port,

Change JENKINS_AJP_PORT="xyz" to JENKINS_AJP_PORT="abc"

If changing the ports did not solve the problem, then the error is mostly coming from the version of Java installed,

Updating java-1.7.0-openjdk to java-1.8.0-openjdk will do the trick

Use the following command to install java 8

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

Make sure you remove the older version of java. Use the following command to do so.

sudo yum remove java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64

Finally, restart jenkins service, use the following command

sudo service jenkins restart
