Hi, This Jenkins system was set up behind an nginx reverse proxy. After further analysis of nginx, I found this in nginx-errors.log:
Looking in /var/log/nginx-error.log , I found: *2016/04/08 09:38:35 [error] 1176#0: *834969 client intended to send too large body: 1079277 bytes, client: 8.8.178.110, server: jenkins.freebsd.org <http://jenkins.freebsd.org>, request: "POST /updateCenter/byId/default/* *postBack HTTP/1.0", host: "jenkins.freebsd.org <http://jenkins.freebsd.org>", referrer: "https://jenkins.freebsd.org/pluginManager/checkUpdates <https://jenkins.freebsd.org/pluginManager/checkUpdates>"* So it looks like 2 months ago, the update-center.json became big enough to trigger this problem. Setting the *client_max_body_size* value as specified in https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+behind+an+NGinX+reverse+proxy solved the problem. -- Craig On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 1:04 AM, Craig Rodrigues <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a Jenkins system running at https://jenkins.freebsd.org , > and checking for plugin updates hasn't worked in 2 months and 19 days. > > This Jenkins system has been upgraded to 1.656, and rebooted > several times, but it is still not working. > > If I click on: > https://jenkins.freebsd.org/pluginManager/checkUpdates , > > I see a screen which shows, *Checking updates....* > > but nothing happens, and the plugin information is not updated. > > I don't see any errors in the Jenkins log files. > > In addition, if I log into the host machine running Jenkins, I > can access https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/current/update-center.json > without a problem, so there don't seem to be any network connectivity > issues to the Jenkins updates site. > > Any ideas what is wrong? > > Thanks. > > -- > Craig > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
