I initially installed with the embedded database. Now I want to move away from the local DB to a DBA managed database on a different server.
I got the database created and obtained user credentials for the remote database. Then I shutdown Ambari server, exported and imported the database using pg_dump/psql. Next I changed the jdbc details in /etc/ambari/conf/ambari.properties as follows: Old information - local database configuration server.jdbc.database=postgres server.jdbc.database_name=ambari server.jdbc.postgres.schema=ambari server.jdbc.user.name=ambari server.jdbc.user.passwd=/etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat New information - remote database configuration server.jdbc.database=postgres server.jdbc.database_name=ambari server.jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver server.jdbc.hostname=dtord01dpt01d.dc.dotomi.net server.jdbc.port=5432 server.jdbc.postgres.schema=ambari server.jdbc.rca.driver=org.postgresql.Driver server.jdbc.rca.url=jdbc:postgresql://dtord01dpt01d.dc.dotomi.net:5432/ambari server.jdbc.rca.user.name=ambari server.jdbc.rca.user.passwd=/etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat server.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://dtord01dpt01d.dc.dotomi.net:5432/ambari server.jdbc.user.name=ambari server.jdbc.user.passwd=/etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat server.jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver server.jdbc.hostname=dtord01dpt01d.dc.dotomi.net server.jdbc.port=5432 I also updated the password file as follows "echo -n <password> > /etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat" Next when I try to startup Ambari server, I get a password error as shown below. Any idea what am I doing wrong? [root@dtord01hdp0101d conf]# service ambari-server start Using python /usr/bin/python2.6 Starting ambari-server Ambari Server running with administrator privileges.
