Sandbox 2.5 in VMWare cannot SETUP AMBARI admin PASSWORD MANUALLY

uptonking — Sun, 18 Aug 2019 12:13:45 GMT

I'm a newbie to hadoop ecosystem. When I play with Hortonworks Sandbox 2.5 following Learning the Ropes of the Hortonworks Sandbox , I cannot SETUP AMBARI admin PASSWORD MANUALLY as 2.1 does.

ambari-admin-password-reset

command didn't work.

any solutions?

Could you restart the VM image and try again. After it restarts, verify ambari is running (as root) the command ambari-server status. Also if it is running, try to log into http://127.0.0.1:8080/ as maria_dev maria_dev and see what happens.

are you logged in as root/hadoop in the root home directory? http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/learning-the-ropes-of-the-hortonworks-sandbox/

What you can do as a work around is to ssh into the sandbox using "ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 2222" and do the ambari-admin-password-reset .This generally works

I just came across this same issue. I am running the HDP 2.5 sandbox using vmware Fusion. Usually I could just ssh into the vm and run the ambari-admin-password-reset command, but with this latest release of the sandbox - I had to find the docker container running ambari, log into the docker container, and then I was able to reset the ambari password. This definitely changed from the previous releases of the sandbox.

after ssh root@sandbox (again, vmware Fusion syntax vs virtual box syntax of 127.0.0.1)

# ps -ef | grep container-ip

I'm sure there is a better way, but from this listing I saw the container ip address was 172.17.0.2

ssh root@172.17.0.2

From here, I had to reset the root password on the container (as typical) and then I was able to run

# ambari-admin-password-reset

it works! thank you~

wait a minute to login with your new passwd until the amabri-server restarting is completed.
