[FIXED] Port number not changing in jenkins and it showing default port number only

Issue

After changing the port number in 8080 to 9999 and it not changing in jenkins. And it showing the default port number 8080 only.

I restart the jenkins service with this command also

"service jenkins restart" "systemctl jenkins restart"

but its not works, I worked on "Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS" server

port for HTTP connector (default 8080; disable with -1)

HTTP_PORT=9999

--httpPort=8080

Solution

Please refer to this link: https://askubuntu.com/a/1401952/1586251 I answered the same question.

TLDR;

Refer to the documentations in: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#debianubuntu

It says that you can modify by: systemctl edit jenkins

Then add the following lines:

[Service] Environment="JENKINS_PORT=9999"

Port should be your desired port to use. Save it and then restart jenkins: sudo systemctl restart jenkins
