plugins and jobs missing after system restart

[R N]

Hi,
  I had deployed jenkins (version 1.478) to build a git repository, polling the repo for changes. It was all working fine for more than 2 weeks. Over the weekend the server went down because of a power failure and after that I am not seeing the plugins and the job configuration that I earlier had. I had restarted the service multiple times before this and had seen the services working as expected.

I later upgraded to the latest version 1.479 and observed that this time the jenkins folder was created under my home directory and not at /var/lib/jenkins. Earlier installation was under /var/lib and this time only a dummy directory got created under /var/lib.

did anything change in the installation path in the new version...?

Any clue on the behavior I saw after system restart....? is it possible that after the systems restart it started working out of my home directory rather than earlier jenkins home dir at /var/lib/jenkins...?

OS: Ubuntu
Version: 1.478
Plugins: git, ssh, ssh-publish, extended-email

How did you deployed jenkins? Via packages of pkg.jenkins-ci.org or via manual deployment (custom init script, what runs war, or something)?

What is the current home dir of jenkins user? You can discover it with "finger jenkins" command (maybe you need to install the finger package).

I installed it through apt-get

what I noticed was, first time when I installed jenkins, I saw the
jenkins home dir created at /var/lib/jenkins but when I upgraded I saw
that it got installed under /home/rnb/jenkins, where rnb was the user
logged in (executing apt-get).

Hmm and what is the home dir of jenkins user? Try to find it in /etc/passwd

Strange. Currently no idea. I will think about your problem.
