On Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, you can install Jenkins through apt-get.
Recent versions are available in an apt repository. Older but stable LTS versions are in this apt repository.
You need to have a JDK and JRE installed. openjdk-7-jre and openjdk-7-jdk are suggested. As of 2011-08 gcj is known to be problematic - see https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-743.
Please make sure to back up any current Hudson or Jenkins files you may have.
wget -q -O - https://jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install jenkins
Once installed like this, you can update to the later version of Jenkins (when it comes out) by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install jenkins
(aptitude or apt-get doesn't make any difference.)
What does this package do?
Deploying on Ubuntu in a cloud (EC2, HP Cloud, OpenStack)
The Ubuntu Jenkins maintainer also maintains the Juju charm deployment/management script for deployment in clouds. It's designed to make it easy to deploy a master with multiple slaves:
juju deploy jenkins juju deploy -n 5 jenkins-slave juju add-relation jenkins jenkins-slave
The default password for the 'admin' account will be auto-generated. You can set it using:
juju set jenkins password=mypassword
Always change it this way - this account is used by the charm to manage slave configuration. Then feel free to expose your jenkins master:
juju expose jenkins
Using Linux iptables for port 80 -> 8080
#Requests from outside iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 #Requests from localhost iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
Now reboot or run sudo /etc/rc.local to enable port forwarding. Additional info: https://gist.github.com/m5m1th/6870a54717c0387468c3

Setting up an Nginx Proxy for port 80 -> 8080
This configuration will setup Nginx to proxy port 80 to 8080 so that you can keep Jenkins on 8080. Instructions originally found in a GitHub Gist from rdegges: https://gist.github.com/913102

The above instructions worked for me on Jaunty (9.04) Server, the daemon dependency was picked up correctly.
There's a bug in the 1.322 and 1.323 releases of Hudson though that stops the hudson service starting up correctly. See https://hudson.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4304 (need to edit /etc/init.d/hudson and apply a fix as mentioned in the comments of that bug report).

On Jaunty (9.04) Server, the daemon dependency is picked up correctly.
But Hudson doesn't start. Changing hudson user's shell to /bin/bash instead of /bin/false in /etc/passwd seems to fix it.

My case:
I work on a Debian Lenny dist (stable)
I have updated the sources list following the instructions above and have applied the patch attached to the bug
Then, I have had to install the sun-java6-bin package to get working. In my experience the hudson does not start with the debian gnu java. I obtained an exception related to this message:
" Could not instantiate converter : com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.extended.DurationConverter : null"
Of course, I have changed the symbolic link at /usr/bin/java by one which links directly to the java from sun.

This fix worked for me when installing Hudson on Debian Lenny: "After installing the hudson deb on Ubuntu server Jaunty 8.10 [Debian Lenny in my case], when I tried to run the init script /etc/init.d/hudson start, nothing would be printed and the server would not start. No log file was created under /var/log/hudson and no pid file was created under /var/run/hudson. I eventually discovered that if i set the hudson user's shell to /bin/bash instead of /bin/false in /etc/passwd everything works fine. Hope this saves someone else some trouble."

hi there.
I've noticed the debian repository responds with response "302", which is redirect related.
apt does not support redirects as of now. Debian stabe apt does not.
I am currently forced to download the file manually, although it is found in the repository.
Can somebody please change the setup so that not a redirect is returned, but the file?

Here's a workaround for lenny: you need: apache2, mod_proxy.
Then create a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/hudson-deb with this content:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName hudson-deb.local RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/debian/binary/(.+\.deb) http://download.jenkins-ci.org/debian/$1 [P] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org$1 [P] <Proxy *> Order Deny,Allow Allow from all </Proxy> </VirtualHost>
Edit /etc/hosts and add hudson-deb.local as the last term on the line containing 127.0.0.1 (separate it with a space).
Then enable the proxy and the site and restart the apache:
a2enmod proxy_http a2ensite hudson-deb /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Then you just add the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hudson.list with the following content:
deb http://hudson-deb.local/debian binary/
And off you go with:
apt-get update && apt-get install hudson

I have jenkins conflicting with tomcat because both run on port 8080.
I've just upgraded to 11.10 and installed tomcat7 (port 8080 default) and then jenkins as a standalone. Both done using synaptic.
jenkins fails with a port already in use exception, so I need to reconfigure it so it's on a different port. What's the best way to do this?
The section above entitled:
Setting up an Apache Proxy for port 80 -> 8080
- This configuration will setup Apache2 to proxy port 80 to 8080 so that you can keep Jenkins on 8080.
If I follow that, it appears that jenkins will still be on port 8080, and that will conflict with tomcat.
I'm only starting to be familiar with how Ubuntu installs tomcat and jenkins. What's the best way to change the port of either tomcat or jenkins from 8080 so they don't conflict?

Where can I find the configuration file to change the port where jenkins runs?
the instructions above indicate that

Installing under apache has some caveats. In my case I wanted Jenkins to respond to a subomain, e.g. ci.myhost.com. In this case the config should be as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName ci.myhost.com ServerAlias ci ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPreserveHost on ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ nocanon ProxyPassReverse / http://ci.myhost.com/ AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode </VirtualHost>
Note, that nocanon and NoDecode are important.
A simple tool comes with Jenkins to test your proxy configuration, so you can check if everything works correctly as follows:
curl -iL http://ci.myhost.com/administrativeMonitor/hudson.diagnosis.ReverseProxySetupMonitor/test

but there is no response when I try to connect to port 8888. The log looks clean except for the "NO JSP support" message:

=SERIES(Name_ref,Categories, Values, Plot_Order)
Help with the Name_ref looks like what I most need, as the chart
references what looks like a named range, but I can't find it.
I inherited a spreadsheet (Excel '97)tracking "Days to Assign." When a
software defect is reported (April 1, 2007, for example) and it's
assigned to a tester, this chart shows the days it took to assign the
Pretty simple.
However, I cannot figure out the SERIES function. I looked up the
syntax, and it looks straight forward.
I copied and pasted this from the chart where I clicked on a data
=SERIES("Qtr 1 07",'Report Data'!$N$2:$N$31,'Report
Column N - Y Axis (not sure what's meant by "Plot Order")
Column P - Assigned (#days it took to assign the issue)
I cannot find the referenced "Qtr 1 07" in the worksheet "Report
Data". I looked by going to the name bar, but as far as I can tell,
there are no named ranges. Is "Qtr 1 07', actually I see no ranges at
I looked in all worksheets, but only two have data, and the other 5
are graphs that I'm supposed to update, but since the previous guy
left and nobody I have access to knows that much about Excel, I'm
supposed to figure it out :)
Any help would be appreciated. I think I'm in over my head.
Thanks, very much.
The Name_Ref is either a test string or a reference to a cell containing a
string that describes the series. That's all it is. Someone may have typed
in Qtr 1 for the Name_ref. I do it all the time.
Take a look here to get more info on Excel Charts.

I really got distracted by this. I was thinking it was a named range
of cells in one of the worksheets (embarrassed).
I appreciate the help!
The link you supplied is MUCH more informative than what I've seen

Hudson, Lufkin, and Cushing High Schools Tops in Deep East Texas According to Report
U.S. News and World Report has released its yearly rankings of high schools in America as well as breaking them down state by state. Some of the factors that they base these rankings on include college readiness, math and reading proficiency, and teacher to student ratio.
Lufkin Police Want Help Finding a Kidnapper
Hudson Child Care Facility Shut Down For Negligence
New Outdoor Classroom Added in Hudson
How many times have you looked out the window on a beautiful day and wanted to escape work or school to go outside and play?
It may not be all about play for students in Hudson, but at least they'll get to spend some time outside in the gorgeous fall weather, in their new outdoor classroom. They just launched a new butterfly garden too.
Police Say Be On Your Guard After Hudson Attack
Ladies may be creeped out by the story out of Hudson this week. This is why we take those self-defense classes.
A woman was attacked while walking on the track at the Hudson ISD Monday, but managed to break free and call 911. The woman says the man fondled her before he ran off. Hopefully it's an isolated incident, but it's still causing some broader warnings.

The long-term health risks of drinking alcohol
The short-term effects of drinking alcohol are usually obvious. However, if you regularly drink too much alcohol, you can be putting your long-term health at risk. There can be hidden harmful effects of drinking alcohol that may not become apparent until years later.
Alcohol and cancer Alcohol and cancer
Drinking as little as three units of alcohol a day increases your risk of developing many types of cancer, including cancers of the mouth, throat, oesophagus (the pipe that goes from your mouth to your stomach), liver, breast and bowel.
Key facts
- Evidence indicates that alcohol is linked to 12,500 cases of cancer in the UK each year.
- If you smoke and drink, you're up to 50 times more likely to get some types of cancer than someone who never smokes or drinks alcohol.
- All types of alcoholic drinks increase the risk of cancer, even red wine. It's the alcohol that causes damage, not the type of drink it's in.
Bupa Health Assessment: Liver check
If you are concerned about liver disease, Bupa can help you get a diagnosis.
Alcohol the heart and circulation Alcohol the heart and circulation
Regularly drinking too much alcohol damages your heart and increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. Damage to your heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) can cause it to pump blood around your body less effectively. It can also lead to an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
Key facts
- Men who regularly drink more than eight units of alcohol a day (double the recommended amount) nearly double their risk of coronary heart disease, are four times more likely to have high blood pressure and double their risk of stroke.
- Women who regularly drink more than six units of alcohol a day (double the recommended amount) are also slightly more likely to develop coronary heart disease, double their risk of high blood pressure and are four times more likely to have a stroke.
Alcohol and your liver Alcohol and your liver
Alcohol damages your liver. Your liver is the largest organ in your body and one of its many functions is to filter and clean your blood. It takes about one hour for your liver to break down one unit of alcohol. If you regularly drink too much alcohol, you are at risk of developing a range of alcoholic liver diseases including fatty liver disease, hepatitis and alcohol-induced cirrhosis (fibrosis or scarring of your liver). If you cut down or stop drinking in the early stages of liver disease, your liver may recover. However, continuing to drink when your liver is damaged can lead to complete liver failure.
Key facts
- One in three adults in the UK drinks enough alcohol to be at risk of developing alcohol-related liver disease.
- The process is silent, but when liver disease has developed, the symptoms come on suddenly and it can be life-threatening.
- In 2010, alcohol-related liver diseases were responsible for over six out of 10 alcohol-related deaths in the UK.
- If you have liver cirrhosis, you're more likely to develop liver cancer.

Alcohol and your pancreas Alcohol and your pancreas
Alcohol damages your pancreas. Your pancreas is an organ that lies behind your stomach and produces digestive enzymes which help to break down fatty food, as well as insulin, which helps control blood sugar. If you drink too much alcohol, it can lead to acute or chronic pancreatitis. With acute pancreatitis, your pancreas becomes inflamed over a short period of time. Chronic pancreatitis is when your pancreas continues to be inflamed over a long period of time, and the damage may be permanent.
Key facts
- One in five people who have acute pancreatitis have a severe form and the condition causes 950 deaths every year in the UK.
- Around seven out of 10 people who have chronic pancreatitis are heavy drinkers who drink long-term.
- One in three people who have chronic pancreatitis will develop diabetes. This is because your damaged pancreas can no longer make insulin.
Alcohol, sex and reproduction Alcohol, sex and reproduction
Regularly drinking more than the daily recommended amount is known to affect fertility in both men and women.
Key facts
- In women, alcohol can disrupt menstrual cycles and ovulation which makes it harder to conceive.
- In men, alcohol can reduce testosterone levels and this can cause loss of sexual desire and affect sperm production. Alcohol also affects the nervous system, making it difficult for men to achieve or maintain an erection.
Alcohol and your mental health Alcohol and your mental health
Drinking heavily over a long time can severely affect your mental health. It can increase anxiety and cause depression. It's also associated with risk-taking behaviour, personality disorders, schizophrenia and suicide.
Key facts
- Alcohol alters the chemistry in your brain and increases your risk of depression.
- After a few weeks of cutting out alcohol, you're likely to feel less depressed.
Alcohol and your nervous system Alcohol and your nervous system
Regular heavy alcohol use can lead to nerve and brain damage, resulting in memory problems, dementia and damage to small nerve endings.
Key facts
- Regular heavy alcohol use can cause a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine) which can, if left untreated, lead to permanent memory loss.
- Some research has shown that heavy drinking over time may cause damage to your brain, which can cause problems with learning, thinking and problem solving. These effects may to some extent be reversible if you stop drinking.
It's not possible to be precise about how much is safe for individual men and women to drink. Current guidelines, however, recommend not regularly drinking more than three or four units a day for men, and two or three units a day for women. Although 'Regularly' means every day or most days of the week, it's a good idea to have at least two alcohol-free days a week so you don't go over the limits. So over a week, men shouldn't have more than 21 units and women shouldn't have more than 14 units.
This doesn't mean you can save up all the 'allowance' for a weekend binge. A drinking binge is generally defined as drinking double the daily recommended units in one session.
If you're struggling to keep within your limits, don't be afraid to talk to someone. Talking to a close friend, a support group or your GP can help you understand your drinking habits and find ways to cut down how much you drink.

J.Lo makes an exciting return to music.
Jennifer Lopez has finally spoken on her departure from American Idol. Just a few days ago, it was announced that Mariah Carey would judge next season's competition, presumably taking Lopez's spot. J.Lo isn't bitter though, at least from what she shared with MTV News. She's moving on, and has learned a lot from judging on the show.
"It was a great experience to sit there and do that for a while, and I honestly feel like it was put in my life for a reason, to be part of my journey and part of my growth, because it definitely did that," said the singer, who celebrated her 43rd birthday yesterday. "But as much as I love the show, [singing] is what I do."
Having sold over 70 million records worldwide, the former Idol judge is currently on tour, promoting her new CD, Dance Again: The Hits. She's getting back to performing, making music and entertaining audiences, all of which have been catalysts for her career's success. Her new video, "Goin' In," featuring Flo Rida, premieres on MTV tonight.

The Intuit Payroll's July Small Business Indexes, a monthly report on employment and revenue trends of American businesses with fewer than 20 employees, shows that small businesses declined by 10,000 jobs in July, a decline of .05 percent. Utah's small business employment decreased by .04 percent, according to the indexes. The data is based on approximately 198,000 small businesses customers of Intuit Online Payroll and QuickBooks Online Payroll.

BATON ROUGE - It took two tries to get his bill clarifying creation of language immersion classes through committee but Rep. Stephen Ortego says it's worth it.
Ortego, D-Carencro, pulled HB763 from the House Education Committee last week when lawmakers raised questions about some of the details and funding. A fiscal note attached to the bill showed significant cost by Ortego said that was in error. After he clarified it and rounded up more support, the panel approved the bill 10-5 today.

Sonoma County's homegrown white supremacist gang, the Barbarian Brotherhood, was flying mostly under the radar until it made headlines with a knife attack on two black men outside a Santa Rosa McDonald's.
But it's not because members weren't busy.
Since 2008, nine gang members have been convicted of crimes ranging from drug trafficking to illegal gun possession to counterfeiting. And the gang quietly has grown in number, to about 200, spreading to neighboring counties and gaining a foothold inside state prison walls, law enforcement officers said.
Nonwhites haven't been targeted until recently, but police fear that could change as ranks swell and younger members try to prove their allegiance to the core belief of racial superiority.
Santa Rosa police Sgt. John Cregan, who has been tracking the gang for about five years, said Barbarians are a presence in public places such as the Sonoma County Fair and have taken to North Coast highways with large motorcycle rallies.
"They are definitely more in-your-face than they used to be," said Cregan, who's testified in Sonoma County Superior Court as a prosecution gang expert. "They are growing and they are proud."
The swastika-wearing Barbarians came into the spotlight with the Aug. 26 attack, which prosecutors have labeled a hate crime.
Police said Salvatore Bordessa, 33, of Windsor and Aaron Welch, 27, of Clearlake, confronted two black men in the McDonald's parking lot, yelling racial slurs and stabbing one of them.
Bordessa, treasurer of the gang's Sonoma County chapter, and Welch, vice president of the Lake County chapter, were arrested after the victims picked them out of photos of other known white supremacists.
Welch has since admitted his role and was sentenced this week to 15 years in prison. Bordessa and a woman suspected of being an accomplice are awaiting trial.

Rare meeting of legendary cage coaches
TribLIVE Sports Videos
When Monessen hosted California in a boys' basketball game Sunday afternoon, the contest was billed as a non-section game.
In reality, it was a lot more than that.
That's because on the bench were two of the winningest active coaches in the WPIAL.
Between California's Phil Pergola and Monessen's Joe Salvino, there were over 1,100 coaching victories on the bench at Monessen.
Pergola, in his 43rd season, has a career record of 574-471 that includes one WPIAL and one PIAA title. His coaching career has spanned Mon Valley Catholic, Charleroi, Ringgold and California.
Salvino, in his 29th season, has a record of 737-215 with four WPIAL and two PIAA titles. His entire career has been spent guiding the Greyhounds.
Both coaches have multiple runners-up finishes in WPIAL titles games and Pergola has also finished as a runner-up on the PIAA level.
It is amazing, in this day and age, to see two coaches with over 500 wins go head-to-head.
Both are true gentlemen and ambassadors of their sport, and have taken different routes to the 500-win milestone.
Pergola has been more of a laid-back coach with relaxed coaching style while Salvino has been known to be intense and, for the majority of his career, was an in-your-face kind of coach.
As I watched Sunday's game between the teams, I couldn't help but spend time focusing on the two benches because you never know how many more times the two area legends will do battle and, more important, how much longer their careers will go on although neither shows signs of slowing down.
The two have squared off in a coaching battle of wits many times over their careers, first when Pergola's Charleroi Cougars played rival Monessen and later when Pergola was at Ringgold, although those meetings were not as often.
And finally, they have gone against each other a few times while Pergola has been at the helm of the Trojans' program.
Among all of the coaches I have come across in over 30 years of this business, Pergola and Salvino have always been two of my favorites. Both have always been honest, available and cordial.
I have watched them handle success with great humility and the few lean years with a lot of class.
In their highest highs, I've never seen either of them take credit for the success, always saying that players play the game.
Youngsters often look up to certain athletes to pattern themselves after as they try to hone their skills in a certain sport.
However, anyone out there who has the desire to be a coach could certainly do a lot worse in looking at Pergola and Salvino as someone to learn from.
I would think that any up-and-coming coach learn a lot about what is right in coaching by sitting down with or even watching the two area mentors go about their business.
Hopefully, such lessons by each will be on display for years to come.

Illicit drug use and sales are a growing threat to the public health and safety of all Marathon County residents. Over the past three years, our community has been attacked by old and new drug threats. Heroin, prescription drugs, synthetic drugs, methamphetamines and others are hooking our families, friends and neighbors.
We know that law enforcement is one part of the solution, but prevention and treatment also are critical to respond to this epidemic.
The Marathon County Public Library and the Marathon County Alcohol & Other Drug Partnership will host an educational series of programs as part of the Pushback Against Drug Abuse campaign. We hope not only to raise awareness of the scope of the problem but also demonstrate how each and every one of us plays a part in the solution.

Session 2 - I Think We Have a Problem! - How to identify if someone is using or dealing drugs, as well as steps to take to intervene. It will be offered 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 15 and noon to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 16.
Session 3 - The 'A' Word, Now What? - The power of addiction, relapse and local treatment options. It will be offered 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 22 and noon to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 23.
Session 4 - It Takes a Village! - Find out how you can help. All levels of the community play a role in prevention, treatment, enforcement and recovery to address this growing epidemic. This session will be offered 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 29 and noon to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 30.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided at all sessions.

Alumni often comment that one of the best things about Birmingham was making lifelong friends while they were here. The University regularly holds reunion events for alumni who left 10, 25, 35, 40, 45 and 50 or more years ago (our Golden Anniversary) so you can keep in touch with the University, as well as re-establish friendships from the past. We greatly enjoy seeing our graduates back on campus and hope that you will be able to join us at one of our reunions. It is also a great chance for the year, as a group, to transform the lives of our students by making a Class Gift. The money that is raised in this way will be distributed to the key projects supported by our Circles of Influence campaign. In 2012, more than £68,000 was raised through our class giving programme, which couldn't have been achieved without the generosity and support of each year's reunion group! With your help, the Circles of Influence campaign will ensure that our students can thrive and become the leaders of tomorrow. For more information, please contact Laura Fairbanks, Deputy Head of Regular Giving, on +44 (0)121 414 8894 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
