Jenkins failed to start in linux

Question

go to run jenkins after doing an upgrade, and get the following:

start jenkins
start: Job failed to start

That\'s it...nothing shows up in jenk

Answer 1

The following worked for me:

sudo rm /etc/init/jenkins.conf
sudo update-rc.d jenkins defaults
sudo service jenkins start

Then....

root@core:/# service jenkins start
* Starting Jenkins Continuous Integration Server jenkins                    [ OK ]
