Reply To: ambari 1.7 ambari-server setup appears to do almost nothing

Dave

Thanks for your reply and suggestions, I appreciate your help. There is nothing in the /var/log/ambari-server directory, it does exist, but it contains no files. It really seems like things didn’t get very far. The ambari-properties file (after the Apache header) is below, I didn’t see anything obviously wrong but I don’t know what to look for.

security.server.keys_dir = /var/lib/ambari-server/keys

Since I have been doing this on a VM, I have made a copy and continued with the “manual” rpm installation approach and so far I have not hit any snags, I am up to the zookeeper installation section. I guess that means the VM is not totally fouled up, but something is clearly wrong for ambari. I’d appreciate any suggestions of next steps, I think ambari is the way to go forward and I would like to help work out any kinks in the process.

Thanks
