Hi Anthony,

You should modify /etc/hue/conf/hue.ini - please ensure there is only a log.conf & hue.ini in this location. This is because any ini files in here will be read in one by one ending in an overwriting of values.

To check your most current configuration you can use:

/usr/lib/hue/build/env/bin/hue config_dump

Thanks

Dave

@Antony Shajin Lucas

What are you trying to make changes in conf.empty?

Hue installation Link: Hue Link

as per HDP document make configuration changes in /etc/hue/conf/hue.ini as re-start hue service

Command to re-start:

service hue restart or service hue stop/start

Ideally you will see like below the hue.ini and folder permissions, and directory location.

here is the location for logs:

/var/log/hue/error.log

/var/log/hue/runcpserver.log

/var/log/hue/error.log

i hope this will help you.
