I assume you're on Linux of some sort. 1. Verify permissions on JENKINS_HOME 2. Verify home directory for your service user is valid and writable (e.g. ~<user> exists and is owned by <user>)
I typically re-configure the account in /etc/passwd so that ~<user> === JENKINS_HOME, which is almost always /var/lib/jenkins or sometimes /home/jenkins What happens if you try to run it manually? You should be able to get some kind of error information in the console output. # su <user> # java -jar jenkins.war What OS are you using, and how did you install Jenkins as a service? That may help us provide places for you to look as well. On Thursday, December 11, 2014 8:55:57 AM UTC-5, Wt Riker wrote: > > I am trying to set up Jenkins to run as a different user.
