I am doing the Jenkins Level 1 task in which the Jenkins installation is needed. So, I have installed the Jenkins but I am unable to start the Jenkins. I have gave

sudo systemctl start jenkins

command but getting following error

thor@jumphost ~$ sudo systemctl start jenkins
Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xeu jenkins.service" for details.
thor@jumphost ~$

So, I have checked that port 8080 is occupied by another process. So, I tried to change the port numbrer of that process which is running on port 8080. But nothing has happened please help me.

Hi @yash1307,

This means the Jenkins service couldn’t start. Have you installed Java? It’s required for Jenkins to run.

Yes, I installed Java also but later I realised I was doing wrong. Actually in that task it is mentioned that first we need to login as root user and I am installing the jenkins via user named thor. So, later zi switched to root user installed the jenkins and now working fine.

Yes, just make sure we’re able to start the service. Treat the task as a real one that needs to work. If anything is unclear or has special requirements, feel free to do whatever is needed to get the service running properly.
