Jenkins Beginner Tutorial 2 - How to setup Jenkins on Tomcat

Jenkins Beginner Tutorial 2 - How to setup Jenkins on Tomcat
Why?
Running Jenkins standalone (jetty/winstone) vs Running Jenkins on Tomcat

Pre-requisite
***Tomcat 5 or above***
***java(7 or above) should be available***

Step 1 : Download Tomcat

Step 2 : Unzip and place tomcat folder at any location

Step 4 : Goto commandpromt (cmd) - windows | terminal - mac
- goto tomcat/bin directory
- make all files executable : chmod +x *.sh

In case of windows this command will not work. This step might not be needed if you are on windows. Else you can right click on the file/folder goto security tab and change the permissions.

Taking a first step towards Devops, Glad I have got your videos !!! They are up to date and clear, Thank you Raghav!!!

Jenkins would not run on :8080 no matter what. I'm so glad you've made this video because now I can run it under Tomcat since it just would not run on :8080. I tried changing the connector to :8080 in server.xml file but no luck. So, I decided to just stick to :8088/jenkins and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot once again because you just saved me from resetting my laptop for no damn reason.

thanks raghav. your jenkins and jmeter tutorials are extremely helpful for my new QA job

[pratikthakur]

As you told, you would be telling if there is any difference in commands between mac and windows, so just to remind you what is alternative to make all file executable in windows as "chmod +x .sh" does not works on windows. Please also highlight windows command wherever required as most of the user are from windows environment. Other than that, thanks for the good explanation.

Standalone installation war file and Container installation war file is at different location, How both Jenkins job got synced at one place? Could you please explain?

[AnkitTheKesharwani]

Can you please help me? Chmod is not working in windows and showing error as "chmod is not recognized as an internal command"

[shirishkumarmorkhade]

Thanks Raghav!
This is really nice.. I am already running multiple applications in single servlet container and can also use Jenkins using same Tomcat. Could save lot of burden/efforts maintaining multiple servers.

Awesome Job Raghav. Amazing explanation

[kiranchinna]

Hi raghava,
It is a very help full video, but i have one doubt that why Job1 && Job2 were merged in both jenkins (tomcat & standalone). They were created different jenkins right, can u please reply on this?

[bhakersunil]

Thank you. Raghav

Your tutorials are great and helping things to learn very quickly.

[Prasad]

This tutorial is very helpful.
One que: If we are using 2 different Jenkins war 1 with tomcat and another one with build-in server, then how could it is in sync ?

[denmak]

I'm learning jenkins from your tutorials

[nodirburiev]

Hey Raghav,
I installed jenkins using homebrew on my Mac machine. And don't really know how to run it inside tomcat. How can I do it if it needs to be done through terminal on a Mac?
Thank you and as alwasy great tutorial!

[diraneserges]

Hi, very good Video on Jenkins, for the improvement of the videos, just suggest to show also how the commands run on the different operating systems. For example when I enter chmod +x *.sh in the cmd terminal. it gives me an error, probably because I'm using windows. so what is the command to use on windows?

[AshrafMMA]

@Automation Step by Step,
Around 15:00 timestamp,
Why do we need to shutdown the servers and start again to check if jenkins is picking up both testjob1, testjob2 ?
