help on starting up Jenkins on Suse Linux

[Vijai Meda]

Hi,
 I have downloaded rpm for “Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS” and installed on my Suse Linux 11, below is the output of the installation.

warning: jenkins-2.32.1-1.1.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID d50582e6

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:jenkins                ########################################### [100%]

jenkins                   0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:off  5:on   6:off

But when I start the Jenkins, it fails with below error.

/etc/init.d/jenkins: line 51: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory

If any of you guys ever encountered or did know a solution, then please help me.

In which directory Jenkins gets installed at?

Thanks,

Vijai

You're trying to use a package created for a Red Hat distribution on a distribution which is not Red Hat or a Red Hat derivative.  In general, that won't work.

Refer to http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9314/no-such-file-or-directory-etc-init-d-functions for more details describing why it won't work.

You should probably use the SUSE / openSUSE long term support package from http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/opensuse-stable/ or the weekly from http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/opensuse/

Thanks Mark.
I have downloaded OpenSuSe package and installed.
Now it simply says  failed.

hyslnx20:/opt/home/vm185012/Jenkins # /etc/init.d/jenkins start
Starting Jenkins                                                               failed

I have debugged a /etc/init.d/jenkins script it fails  at

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo -n "Starting Jenkins "
        /sbin/checkproc -k -p "$JENKINS_PID_FILE" "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" >/var/log/jenkins.rc 2>&1
        CHECK=$?
        if [ $CHECK -eq 7 ]; then
                rm -f "$JENKINS_PID_FILE"
                if [ -x "$JENKINS_INIT_SHELL" ]; then
 
                       startproc -n $JENKINS_NICE -s -e -l /var/log/jenkins.rc -p "$JENKINS_PID_FILE" -t 1 /bin/su -l -s "$JENKINS_INIT_SHELL" -c "$JAVA_CMD $PARAMS &" "$JENKINS_USER"
                else


                       HOME=$JENKINS_HOME startproc -n $JENKINS_NICE -s -e -l /var/log/jenkins.rc -u "$JENKINS_USER" -p "$JENKINS_PID_FILE" $JAVA_CMD $PARAMS
                fi
                JPROC=$( pgrep java -U $JENKINS_USER )
                if [ -n "$JPROC" ]; then
                        echo "$JPROC" >"$JENKINS_PID_FILE"
                        rc_status -v
                else
                        echo " Failed here....1"
                        rc_failed
                        rc_status -v
                fi
        else

The command doesnt seem to be running in the backgroud "startproc -n $JENKINS_NICE -s -e -l /var/log/jenkins.rc -p "$JENKINS_PID_FILE" -t 1 /bin/su -l -s "$JENKINS_INIT_SHELL" -c "$JAVA_CMD $PARAMS &" "$JENKINS_USER"" and hence the below lines fail

JPROC=$( pgrep java -U $JENKINS_USER )
                if [ -n "$JPROC" ]; then

Sorry, but I'm not a SUSE user.  You'll need to investigate further on your own.

Do you have JAVA installed on your server?
