I am trying to install Hadoop by following the instruction from http://alans.se/blog/2010/hadoop-hbase-cygwin-windows-7-x64/.
1. I can not open http://localhost:9100 or http://localhost:9101 after I run "bin/start-dfs.sh" and "bin/start-mapred.sh" without any error message being printed. 2. I shutdown cygwin shell. 3. I start another cygwin shell, run "bin/start-dfs.sh" and get the following message from the shell. $ bin/start-dfs.sh starting namenode, logging to C:\cygwin\hadoop\0.21.0\logs/hadoop-Jim-namenode-Jim-PC.out localhost: datanode running as process 6908. Stop it first. localhost: secondarynamenode running as process 6156. Stop it first. Log message in C:\cygwin\hadoop\0.21.0\logs/hadoop-Jim-namenode-Jim-PC.out are listed as below: 2011-01-24 23:10:11,202 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode: NameNode up at: 127.0.0.1/127.0.0.1:9100 2011-01-24 23:10:36,187 INFO org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server: IPC Server listener on 9100: readAndProcess threw exception java.io.IOException: Unable to read authentication method.
