What version of Ambari is this? Did you go through an Ambari upgrade?

@smohanty yes, went for an upgrade and due to some issues had to roll back and after roll back I imported the backup of DB , after restoring the DB Can't start ambari-server due to the exception as above.

What was the original version and what did you upgrade to/downgrade from. Is there a backup of PXF folder under /var/lib/ambari-server - possibly leftover from upgrade or downgrade?

Hi ,

Issue got resolved by completely removing ambari-server and ambari-agent, Also by moving /var/lib/ambari-server and /var/lib/ambari-agent and reinstalling both and importing the backup db's of ambari and ambarirca.
