Jenkins dead but pid file exists

I am running into an issue where a fresh install of Jenkins is not accessible. This is the error and OS details: Upon starting jenkins results in “OK” status message however if I run status-all | grep jenkins it results in:

jenkins dead but pid file exists

Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago) with Yum as package manager.

rpm -qa | grep java

drwxr-xr-x. 29 root    root    4096 Aug 27 14:47 ..

Has anyone resolved this before?

Answer

Change JENKINS_AJP_PORT="8009" (OR whatever value) to JENKINS_AJP_PORT="-1"

It will work for sure.
