Jenkins fails when running “service start jenkins”

Question

I installed jenkins on Cnetos 7 using the following:

sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
sudo rpm --impor         


        

Answer 1

The easiest possible fix for this issue if it is a AWS linux instance

sudo yum install java-1.8.0 -y 

sudo yum remove java-1.7.0-openjdk
