Address already in use when deploying a cluster

[#1]

I had few issues in installing (running out of space etc). So I cleared previous installs, reinstalled Ambari and trying to deploy a cluster now. Getting the following error. Possibly the cleanup didnt go through fine?

INFO 2016-04-07 09:24:28,058 DataCleaner.py:120 - Data cleanup started

On the Ambari Server, Could you try the below

netstat -nap | grep 8080

ps -ef | grep ambari

If there are some stray process running then kill them , Make sure no one is listening on 8080.

nothing is listening on 8080. but i do see the following running when i did ps -ef

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2 .6/site-packages/ambari_agent/AmbariAgent.py

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2 .6/site-packages/ambari_agent/main.py

It appears they all have been started two days ago. Can I kill them?

[#4]

Yes, and restart it. Should be fine. Thanks!

@Arvind Kandaswamy

Is this resolved?

[#6]

@Arvind Kandaswamy it is complaining about the ping port listener. This is not port 8080 but is defined in your /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini. It is normally port 8670. Try running netstat -tulpn | grep 8670 to see what is on that port.

I did kill all of the processes and started all over again. I ran into a different issue for which I created another ticket. Thankyou for your response.
