Having trouble starting Jenkins: “java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/java/jenkins/war/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (No such file or directory)”

Question

I just downloaded the Jenkins WAR, version 1.651.1. I’m trying to set it up on my Amazon Linux box. I’m running Java 1.7. I moved the WAR into its own directory, /usr/sha

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue after i accidently deleted the cache from /var/cache/jenkins. I resolved it by manually creating the jenkins folder in /var/cache/ with the same permission which is there in /var/lib/jenkins and it worked.
