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=9090If you want to use https use the following command:
java -jar jenkins.war --httpsPort=9090Details are here
Open the jenkins.xml in the jenkins home folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins) and change the port number:httpPort=xxxx
tohttpPort=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=8083and restart the service
service jenkins restart
