How to set up Jenkins on AppFog?

Question

I uploaded Jenkins on AppFog, however I get an error:

Unable to create the home directory '/nonexistent/.jenkins'. This is most likely a         permission problem.

To change the home directory, use JENKINS_HOME environment variable or set the JENKINS_HOME system property.

What value should I set JENKINS_HOME environment variable to?

Answer 1

I'd add another folder to your Jenkins instance's directory and set it as your JENKINS_HOME. You received the above error because AppFog does not want to grant access to directories outside of the web root.
