How to start jenkins on different port rather than 8080 using command prompt in Windows?

Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

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.

Solution 3:

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

Solution 4:

In CentOS/RedHat (assuming you installed the jenkins package)

vim /etc/sysconfig/jenkins

....
# Port Jenkins is listening on.
# Set to -1 to disable
#
JENKINS_PORT="8080"

change it to any port you want.
