Ambari Server: Check /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.\[log\|out\] for errors.
Ambari Agent: Check /var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.\[log\|out\] for errors.
Note that if Ambari Agent has any output in /var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.out, it is indicative of a significant problem.

*Install Wizard fails during Install phase

...

*
* Click on the Retry button.  In most cases, this will solve install failures due to package install problems due to intermittent software repository availability (i.e., "No more mirrors to retry").

...



*Install Wizard failed with warning during Start/Test phase

...

*
* Proceed by hitting "Next".  Once you are in the Dashboard, go to individual services, reconfigure, and start them to resolve any startup issues.

*Installing a new cluster on top of an existing cluster

...

*

When installing a Hadoop cluster via Ambari on hosts that already have Hadoop bits installed (including an existing cluster deployed via Ambari), perform the following:

...



* Stop all the services on all the nodes(including ganglia and nagios)

...


* It is also a good practice to delete the rpms from all nodes.

...



* search for the rpms:

...


rpm \-qa \| grep ganglia

...


rpm \-qa \| grep oozie

...


rpm \-qa \| grep sqoop

...


rpm \-qa \| grep pig

...


rpm \-qa \| grep nagios

...


rpm \-qa \| grep hadoop

...



* and remove them :

...


rpm \-e <package name>

...

Note that there are some issues with Ambari current release 1.2.5 in case you have spaces in baseDN/managerDN. Please take a look at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ambari-3006

...

. The fix will be available in 1.4.1 release of Ambari. In case you are running into issues and cant get rid of spaces in the managerDN/baseDN - keep reading.

...



I have created a jar with the patch applied on top of branch-1.2.5. The jar is posted at http://people.apache.org/~mahadev/ambari/ambari-server-1.2.5.17.jar

...

.

...

 

Download the above jar and follow the following steps for fixing the issue:

...



* Stop ambari server using

...



{code
}
ambari-server stop
  • Replace the ambari server jar with the downloaded jar
Code Block

{code}

* Replace the ambari server jar with the downloaded jar

{code}
cp <download_ambari_server_jar> /usr/lib/ambari-server/ambari-server-1.2.5.17.jar
  • Restart Ambari Server
Code Block
{code}

* Restart Ambari Server

{code}
ambari-server start

This should fix the issue with spaces in LDAP dn names.
