how to change port number for Jenkins installation In Ubuntu 12.04
First, run this command to open jenkins configurations:
sudo nano /etc/default/jenkins
The only part you need to change is:
#port for HTTP connector (default 8080; disable with -1) Http_port = 8080
There you need to change to the desired port. For example:
HTTP_PORT = 8081
Finally, Restart Jenkins service by running this command:
sudo service jenkins restart
Then you're ready to open it with a new port.
