Service failed to startup due to timeout

Using Jenkins Ask a question

I also experience the same issue on Rocky Linux 8. I followed the steps in Jenkins page for Redhat/CentOS.

So I tried to increase the timeout setting as suggested, from 90s to 300s to 600s but still jenkins wont complete to start and the status is still activating.

~# systemctl show jenkins | grep ^Timeout
TimeoutStartUSec=1min 30s
TimeoutStopUSec=1min 30s
~#
~# systemctl edit jenkins
~# systemctl show jenkins | grep ^Timeout
TimeoutStartUSec=5min
TimeoutStopUSec=1min 30s
~#
~# time systemctl start jenkins
Job for jenkins.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See “systemctl status jenkins.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

real 5m0.603s
user 0m0.010s
sys 0m0.010s
~#
~# systemctl edit jenkins
~# systemctl show jenkins | grep ^Timeout
TimeoutStartUSec=10min
TimeoutStopUSec=1min 30s
~#
~# time systemctl start jenkins
Job for jenkins.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See “systemctl status jenkins.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

Have anyone solved this issue or can point me what else to check?

Thanks!

You have not provided the information that is mentioned in Job for jenkins.service failed because a timeout was exceeded - #4 by MarkEWaite . It points you to a blog post that outlines how to provide enough information so that others may be able to help you.

Since the user CPU time in your case is so low, I doubt that it is a performance related issue. However, without the details that are noted in that blog post, all you’re likely to get are guesses.

To add more information…

These are the commands I ran:

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key
yum upgrade -y
reboot
yum install java-11-openjdk java-11-openjdk-devel -y
yum install jenkins -y
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start jenkins

That log content is quite surprising for a Jenkins controller that has already been configured. That is the log content that is output for a brand new Jenkins controller that has just been installed with no previous configuration. The controller starts, gives the randomly generated initial password, then waits for you to enter that password from your web browser to continue the initial configuration of Jenkins. After 10 minutes idle time, Jenkins reports that it is terminating because it is not making progress in startup.

If this is a first time installation, then you need to connect to the controller with your web browser and complete its configuration.

If this is not a first time installation, then you’ve probably got a configuration error that is causing the Jenkins controller to believe that the JENKINS_HOME directory is in a different location than you expect it is.

@MarkEWaite Thanks for your reply.

IT is indeed a new install. I have tried to access the web console of jenkins :8080 while in activating state but it shows:

“Please wait while Jenkins is getting ready to work
Your browser will reload automatically when Jenkins is ready.”

In a good install, jenkins service should be in started state before I can access the webconsole to activate it.

Thanks!

You might check that there is nothing in the Jenkins home directory that is causing an issue. Something like:

$ mkdir /tmp/jenkins-home-test
$ JENKINS_HOME=/tmp/jenkins-home-test java -jar /usr/share/java/jenkins.war

There is also an article from CloudBees that might offer ideas:

Thanks!

I tried changing the JENKINS_HOME as you suggested, but the result is still the same.

I will check the link you provided.

Thanks again.

Did you use the exact path porvied or you had to do something else to find the file path ?
