Jenkins installed on aws unable to launch on browser I have a fresh aws instance with Ubuntu 14 installed. 

I am trying to install and run jenkins on it. I did the following steps. 

Installed java8

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ &gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins


After that I checked the status of the Jenkins server

sudo service jenkins status


The response was:

Jenkins Automation Server is running with the pid 8355

sudo netstat -ntulp | grep 8080
tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      8356/java  


However, when I go to ipaddress of &lt;aws_instance_ip_address&gt;:8080 the page does not load. 

Going to &lt;aws_instance_ip_address&gt; opens the Ubuntu Apache default page. 

What do I need to do for Jenkins to launch from browser?
It seems your have not opened your 8080 port in Security Groups in AWS.

Steps:


Go to AWS console
Click Security Group and select the security group that you have assigned to your EC2 instance.
Click Edit Inbound Rules
Add a Custom TCP Rule and add 8080 in the Port Range.
You will now see Jenkins rise from the grave :) i.e. first time installation screen.


P.S.:
My Friend, if you have reached till Step 5, you know what to do next ;)
