Hue failed to start

rbalam — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:54:53 GMT

I installed and configured Hue using the following URL on the edge node of this cluster but when I try to start it for the first time I see some errors.

@rbalam

FYI - Not sure what OS are you using ? Hue is not supported for CentOS 7

@rbalam It has to do with the python. It looks like you are using 2.6.1

Verify that you have at least Python 2.6.6 or higher installed.

Thanks @rbalam!! Please verify hue.ini as looks like there are several errors because of hue.ini

@Neeraj Sabharwal

I configured hue.ini as per the link i posted above, i checked it again but I could not see anything out of ordinary.. Is there a particular section/config I should be looking at? or is it okay if I upload the .ini file for your review?

@rbalam Look at line 373

Configure JobDesigner and Oozie

In the [liboozie] section of the configuration file, specify oozie_url, the URL of the Oozie service as specified by the OOZIE_URL environment variable for Oozie.

@Neeraj Sabharwal

I modified oozie_url but there is no difference. I am thinking to re-install HUE on this box, so do you have any document which would help me install HUE manually? This cluster has no internet, so i need to download all the binaries before I can install manually.

@rbalam Your doc is not bad that you shared http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.3.0/bk_installing_manually_book/content/ch_installing_hue_chapter.html

Make sure that you go through hue.ini settings again..

@rbalam You have duplicated entries in your hue.ini for RM.
