I'm hosting jenkins on windows (historical reasons)
Just updated it from 1.620 to 2.62

Everything works as expected, except the tiny details that I cannot access it anymore.
Only accessing it from host works.

I found numerous posts about it and they all suggested changing startup params to set:

--httpListenAddress=0.0.0.0

or

--httpListenAddress=HOST

I've tried both solutions, same result.
Jenkins works when accessed from the host by:

• 127.0.0.1


• 10.0.1.11 (internal ip)


• x.x.x.x (external ip)


• HOST

but doesn't work when accessed from any other machine.

I've checked firewall and azure settings. Other service (nexus:8081) is accessible as expected. Changing port to 8080 didn't help.

that's jenkins.xml

<service>

  <id>jenkins</id>

  <name>Jenkins</name>

  <description>This service runs Jenkins continuous integration system.            

</description>

  <env name="JENKINS_HOME" value="%BASE%"/>

  <env name="HTTP_HOST" value="HOST.cloudapp.net"/>

  <executable>%JAVA_HOME%jrebinjava</executable>

  <arguments>-Xrs -Xmx512M -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar "%BASE%jenkins.war" --httpPort=80 --httpListenAddress="%HTTP_HOST%" --webroot="%BASE%war"</arguments>

  <logmode>rotate</logmode>

  <onfailure action="restart" />

</service>

that's jenkins log

when httpListenAddress was 0.0.0.0 log was:

INFO: Started ServerConnector@7ae0a9ec{HTTP/1.1,[http/1.1]}{0.0.0.0:80}

so turns out this question has nothing to do with Jenkins. So I apologize anyone you tried answering.
(Correct setting is either using the default value for httpListenAddress or setting it to --httpListenAddress=0.0.0.0)

It was windows firewall.
For old jenkis - 1.620 firewall had a rule for Java 6 and port 80. New jenkins is using Java 8 which was blocked.

Changing firewall rules fixed the problem.
