I have downloaded Mac OS X native package from Jenkins web site, installed it, opened my browser at http://localhost:8080/ and got error page with this text:

Status Code: 404
Exception: Request URL / not found.<br><br>

I have found jenkins.war in /Applications/Jenkins and tried running it with java -jar jenkins.war:

$ pwd
/Applications/Jenkins


$ ls
jenkins.war

$ java -jar jenkins.war

Since the error message says Address already in use I have tried running it on another port:

But I get Address already in use error message, it does not matter which port I try.

I have stopped Firewall, just in case (System Preferences > Security > Firewall > Stop). It did not help.

I have copied jenkins.war to /Users/zeljko/Jenkins and tried running it with java -jar jenkins.war and java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8081. The same error messages.

I have downloaded Latest and greatest (1.441) jenkins.war from the web site, moved it to /Users/zeljko/Jenkins, and tried java -jar jenkins.war and java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8081. The same error messages.

Environment:

Mac OS X 10.6.8

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

I am browsing Jenkins web site, wiki, book, searching around, but I just do not get what I have to do to get it working.

The issue appears to have been added to Jenkins' Jira, and hopefully will be fixed soon: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11714?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

On my 10.7.2 installation I've made it work by creating the missing Home folder and changing the owner of the Jenkins.

After installing Jenkins, run the following commands:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home
sudo chown -R daemon /Users/Shared/Jenkins
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
