How to start jenkins on different port rather than 8080 using command prompt in Windows?
Use the following command at command prompt:
java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=9090
If you want to use https use the following command:
java -jar jenkins.war --httpsPort=9090
Details are here
Open the jenkins.xml
in the jenkins home folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins
) and change the port number:
httpPort=xxxx
to
httpPort=yyyy
then restart the service. it should change the setting permanently.
With Ubuntu 14.4 I had to change the file /etc/default/jenkins
E.g.
#HTTP_PORT=8080
HTTP_PORT=8083
and restart the service
service jenkins restart
