Unable to get Jenkins to start on MacOS-X 10.10 Yosemite

[Robin Mills]

Folks

I've had Jenkins running for months on my Mac Mini.  I upgraded today to Yosemite and was very surprised that Jenkins refuses to start (any port, not just 8080, with/without sudo)

I've looked through everything in the System Preferences concerning security, network, users, updated Java.  Nope!  Defeated.  Looks like some new Yosemite policeman needs to be told "it's OK to allow Java to open port 8080!" (or something like that).

Does anybody have any ideas?

Are you sure Jenkins is running? I'm asking because JENKINS-23543 indicates it might not even start on OS X Yosemite.

Thanks for contributing to this.  Very much appreciated.

I've made some progress.  I've discovered that Jenkins is running OK on my Mac Book Pro which has been upgraded to Yosemite.

The situation with my MacMini is a little different from JENKINS-23543 in which Daniel Roy has reported trouble getting the "daemon" instance to run from launchctl - however jenkins runs from the command-line.  I can't get it to start from the command-line (nor from launchtl).

I'm going to restore my Mac Mini to 10.9.5 in order to bring the server back on line.  I'll won't upgrade the MacMini to 10.10 for now and keep my eyes and ears open for similar reports.

Thanks again for taking the time to help with this.

I've got it running with this command:

sudo /usr/bin/java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms256m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=/Users/Shared/Jenkins/tmp -jar /Applications/Jenkins/jenkins.war

It seems to have lost all server configuration (forgotten its builders, jobs, tasks etc) - however it's running which is much better.

I've now got jenkins running and and the server configuration is available.

I added JENKINS_HOME /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home to the defaults

$ defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.jenkins-ci JENKINS_HOME /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home

then started the server from Terminal:

sudo /Library/Application Support/Jenkins/jenkins-runner.sh &

Rather oddly, it doesn't start jenkins from launchctl (and therefore doesn't survive a crash or reboot) - however I'm sure that will have a simple explanation.  At least I have the jenkins server running and available to users.

The final bit of the jigsaw was correctly indentified by Roy Willemse in https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-23543

$ sudo chmod 777 /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log 

Then start jenkins with launchctl:

$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist 

Happiness!

That solved my problem, thanks a lot Robin!!

[Miguel Garcia Ibañez]

It solved my problem as well...

Thanks a lot

[Barry Anderson]

It might be worth trying just the following command:

sudo chown jenkins /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log

Hope this helps,

Barry

[Robin Mills]

Thanks, Barry.  I did that, and some other things and got it running.  I think I put my solution on the web.  Anyway, it's running well.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
