We have a Tomcat application server on buildl02 on our site. This Tomcat instance is running both Jenkins and Sventon.

When I type in the address for Jenkins http://buildl02.tcprod.local/jenkins, I get a dialog box that says

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://buill02.tcprod.local/jenkins. Operation Aborted.

After that, I get the page, that's says:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Most likely causes:

  • You are not connected to the Internet.
  • The website is encountering problems.
  • There might be a typing error in the address.

However, I have no problems if I type in the address on the same server for Sventon which is in the same webapps directory as Jenkins.

One more thing, Jenkins favicon and webpage title does display (but that's it).

Unfortunately, this is a server, and I cannot download Chrome or Firefox. There's nothing in the Event log.

  • Is Fiddler also out of the question? – Kevin Jan 13 '14 at 17:43
  • Nope. I get the security bar, I tell it to download anyway, and nothing happens. Interestingly I could install Notepad++, but not Firefox or Chrome. This is a Windows 2003 Server, and I couldn't install IE 8 either. – David W. Jan 13 '14 at 17:50
  • Did it download and not run, or not download at all? – Kevin Jan 13 '14 at 17:53
  • It didn't download at all. I clicked on the security bar, asked it to download, but got no dialog box. Nothing. – David W. Jan 13 '14 at 18:15
  • Download it somewhere else and copy it over – Kevin Jan 13 '14 at 18:17

    I honestly hope that the buildl02 vs buill02 in the 2 addresses you reported is just a typo of yours. Can you confirm? – stoned Jan 13 '14 at 18:22
  • Typos. If I could spell, I would have been an English Major. – David W. Jan 13 '14 at 18:36
  • ok so let's get down to business. you're not getting a web server error like a 404 or 500 error. 1. Can you ping the server from your client? 2. Can you try to disable windows firewall as a test on the server? 3. What do you mean by "I cannot download Chrome or Firefox"? – stoned Jan 13 '14 at 20:44
  • You are running tomcat on port 80? Show the URL you use to get to Sventon. – Schrute Jan 14 '14 at 05:48
  • I can get to the other URL `http://buildl02.tcprod.local/svn` which is on the same server and using the same Tomcat instant. Why that works and not `http://buildl02.tcprod.local/jenkins` doesn't is a mystery. IT services says there's no filtering going on. We are beginning to think this is an IE 7 issue. Unfortunately, we can't even upgrade to IE 8 because this is Server 2003. I've asked IT to install Chrome on this box. – David W. Jan 14 '14 at 12:10

It was an IE 8 issue. We installed Google Chrome on the server and we can now get to our Jenkins build server. I've setup a Master/Slave relationship with this PC. Now, it appears that this is a 1.1 .NET project, and I don't have an MSBUILD executable for that on my build machine.
