Unable to start jenkins service in KKE jenkins level 1 task 1

i am installing jenkins to VM using official document but looks like my 8080 port is being occupied, if i kill the process - my connection refreshes but 8080 doesn’t get free. Jenkins is running fine if i run it in another port but that won’t help me solve the task. Below is the error i am facing:

thor@jumphost ~$ sudo systemctl start jenkins.service
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 ~$ journalctl -xeu jenkins.service

Please help me

Hi,

I’ve just checked it and it’s worked properly from my end. You can see the screenshot below.

Could you please try again and let me know if it persists?


Thanks for the reply. I’m afraid, i am still facing the same issue. I tried all the steps mentioned in official documentation and also in this site How to Install Jenkins on CentOS or Rocky Linux. Can you pls share the steps and if possible commands u used please

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y java-11-openjdk

sudo rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/jenkins.io.key

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo <<EOF
[jenkins]
name=Jenkins-stable
baseurl=https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/
gpgcheck=1
EOF

sudo yum install -y jenkins

Here is the command I used to install Jenkins.
