Hey there! I’m trying to install Jenkins on my CentOS 8 PC (For training purposes only), and I can’t seem to start the service -
I was able to install the package, but the moment I try to start it, I get the following error -
Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status jenkins.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
which didn’t say much, so I checked both the status and the journal - and both didnt tell much either -

I’d love for anyone to provide me with some feedback or some insights into why this might have happened, and I’d thank any advice / help!
