Before installing ambari-server can you please share & verify the output of the following commands

# wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/2.x/updates/2.2.1.0/ambari.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo
# yum clean all
# yum info ambari-server
# ambari-server --version   
# yum install ambari-server -y

In your yum output i see that it is using some cached entry as following:

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: sunsite.rediris.es * extras: sunsite.rediris.es * updates: sunsite.rediris.es Error: Nothing to do 

Hence it is better to clear the yum cache first, you can use the following command.

# yum clean all

If you are using any Http Proxy at your end then in the "~/.bash_profile" profile we can add the following: (here replace the "proxyHostName:3128" with proxy host and port number)

export http_proxy=http://proxyHostName:3128/
export https_proxy=${http_proxy}
export ftp_proxy=${http_proxy}

Also please see: http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.2.1.0/bk_ambari_reference_guide/content/_how_to_se...

Hi Jay,

Clean the yum cache and install with the option "-y" has been the solution.

Thank you very much

# yum clean all
# yum install ambari-server -y

Should solve this 🙂
