RE: migration hudson 2.2.0 to jenkins
Search the mailing list archives for posts from folks that have done this same thing. The pattern has been – depending on how old of a version of hudson – to upgrade to the last version of hudson before the fork (you may need an interim upgrade if your version of Hudson is really old) and then upgrade to latest LTS. This is more effort but more likely to work and give you a working system as you upgrade.
Any way to determine trigger source, whether manual build or scm change?
Is there any way to determine trigger source, whether manual build or scm change? I have a job that takes a parameter when manually triggered but when triggered from a git commit I plan to set that parameter from info gathered from GIT. I guess one way would be to change the default parameter to a "null" value then I would know that the build was triggered by SCM change - are there any other ways?
FYI: Jenkins Security Advisory 2012-11-20
I got e-mail of this via cloudbees but wanted to make sure that list members were also aware (I didn't see one): http://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins-advisory/jenkins-security-advisory-2012-11-20.cb Excerpt from security announcement link above: Severity: CloudBees rates these vulnerabilities as high, when combined, as they allow malicious users to gain unauthorized access to the information and impersonate the administrator of the system. On the other hands, this attack can be only mounted passively, and the attacker needs to know the URL of your Jenkins installations. Fix: *Main line users should upgrade to Jenkins 1.491 *LTS users should upgrade to 1.480.1 Request to Cloudbees: please send a notification of this out on the Jenkins user list too
RE: Shelve Project - Waiting for next available executor

RE: Hudson to Jenkins migration
Another path would be to update your old Hudson server to a v1.39 (if you can) since that is more compatible with Jenkins or even to install Hudson v1.39 on your new box, migrate the jobs and then upgrade that new box to Jenkins.
RE: Moving Jenkins to a new server?
Are you upgrading versions at the same time? Is the new server on the same IP network? I'm just finishing a migration but I installed a newer version and then migrated corresponding build slaves and jobs while over time to ensure that they all still worked. As far as the configuration, yes, it is just a matter of copying the Jenkins directory - if I remember correctly. I ran into problems transitioning from a fairly old version of Jenkins to the latest LTS release because of the transition from the obsolete Setenv plug-in to the Envinject plug-in. The environment variables configured in setenv configuration were lost once I edited the job on the new system, so I had to re-configure those jobs to add the environment variables in the new format. Another issue I had was with firewall rules because the new Jenkins server was not in the same IP network. Was the old server upgraded from Hudson and are you installing Jenkins on the new server and then copying the data? You might want to check for path issues in the configuration file and change /var/lib/hudson to /var/lib/jenkins

RE: change password LDAP-user in Jenkins
How did you setup Jira? Do you use Crowd? You can setup Jira to users to only use LDAP for users and passwords (no internal Jira accounts), to create Jira accounts seeded from LDAP and use LDAP for passwords, or only internal Jira accounts (no LDAP). Adding Crowd SSO to the mix, means that you can synchronize accounts between Jira and LDAP. Jenkins either uses LDAP or uses internal accounts but it does not provide any functionality to update LDAP - like updating passwords. As Qazwart stated, you have to use another LDAP tool to achieve this - once the password is changed in LDAP all systems using LDAP will see the new password. If Jira provides this for then have your users change their LDAP password using Jira. -Original Message- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dalen, van William Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 4:38 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: change password LDAP-user in Jenkins <> I,m sorry, but i already did establish this among for JIRA.

Job Import Plugin query doesn't return a list
I go to the job-import page, put in the URL of my current Jenkins server and hit query and no list is produced. The curious thing is that in the upper right, the "New Job" icon text is changed to "New null". I've tried different URLs ( like https://server and https://server/view/something ) but all produce the same result. The current server is behind a remote lighthttpd proxy on port 443; similarly the new server is behind an Apache reverse proxy at 443. The new server is Jenkins ver. 1.466.1 on Java 1.6.0_24 on Ubuntu 12.04 (using Jenkins deb). The current server is Jenkins ver. 1.406 on Java 1.6.0_0 on CentOS 5.5 (with Jenkins installed upgraded from Hudson 1.363-1.1 rpm)
Problem with lighttpd reverse proxy and Jenkins
I realize that this is better directed to a lighttpd forum but just a quick shout-out if someone else has set this up before. I'm moving to an upgraded version of Jenkins and have some sort of mistake with my lighttpd reverse proxy that handles https and proxies it to Jenkins on non-ssl localhost:8080. If anyone has configuration tips that would be great.

RE: selenium-grid issues?
I've setup a small number of systems to run Selenium servers headless and
didn't had much problems.
This was some time ago using selenium 1.0b and Xvfb and not via Jenkins.
Can you split the problem, into what is going with Jenkins and what is going on
with Selenium?
Is there some sort of log from the Selenium scripting as to what is going on?
To understand what is going on with the browser, configure Xvfb to use a
framebuffer ("-fbdir file") and then use xwd to see snapshots of what the
browser is doing. It could be that the browser is taking too long to start, go
to a certain page, SSL cert issue, etc.
For the Jenkins, side what the build job running selenium say (i.e. Console
Output from the build)?
Another option is to dedicate a VM to run the browser and selenium server and
leave it at that - then you can watch what is going on.
