All, I am attempting to install Hortonwprks Data Platform using Ambari on a CentOS 6.3 server following these instructions: http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP1/HDP-1.2.1/bk_using_Ambari_book/content/ambari-chap1.html
I'm fine until I start the server. It appears to start correctly but dies about 10 seconds later with no cause... *Ambari is installed and configured* [root@horton ~]# yum list | grep ambari ambari-server.noarch 1.2.0.1-1 @AMBARI-1.x ambari-agent.x86_64 1.2.0.1-1 AMBARI-1.x ambari-log4j.noarch 1.0-1 AMBARI-1.x *Ambari-server setup returns with success* [root@horton ~]# ambari-server setup Using python /usr/bin/python2.6 Run postgresql initdb Run postgresql start Starting postgresql service: [ OK ] Setup ambari-server Checking SELinux...
