There are cases
where we need to clear the Cache for jenkins when deploying a new installation.
Though we remove the jenkins there are cases where previous installation
details will be available that can cause issues while installation.
Here are the major
locations where jenkins files will be installed
[root@vx111a
Downloads]# rpm -ql jenkins
/etc/init.d/jenkins
/etc/logrotate.d/jenkins
/etc/sysconfig/jenkins
/usr/lib/jenkins
/usr/lib/jenkins/jenkins.war
/usr/sbin/rcjenkins
/var/cache/jenkins
/var/lib/jenkins
/var/log/jenkins
In order to remove
the cache we need remove the following,
rm -rf
/var/cache/jenkins/*
rm -rf /var/lib/jenkins/*
rm -rf
/var/log/jenkins/*
Once these
locations are cleaned we can now perform a new installation with no previous
cache
Removing "/var/lib/jenkins/*" will remove the entirety of the Jenkins configuration and installation.
ReplyDeleteDo *NOT* do this unless you want to perform a completely fresh installation.
`rm -rf /var/lib/jenkins/*` is dangerous. Know what you are doing before executing the command
