Jenkins fresh installation does not start on Fedora 25

I have installed Jenkins on Fedora 25 using dnf. However, when I access the default URL I see 503 exception.

Is this behaviour seen by the others? Do we need to change any configuration after the installation or are there any dependencies?

Jenkins logs show the following error
