CDH 5.8.1 Sqoop2 Starting Problem

[#1]

Hello,

I'm currently installing CDH 5.8.1 on a Centos Environement with one name node and 2 data nodes.

The install was made using packages because the P2P ports where blocked. The install of HDFS, Zookeeper, Map Reduce, Hue, Hive went very well but I have a problem to install Sqoop2 using the Cloudera manager, we have the error below during the start of the server - log from stderr. The user cloudera-scm has the same access as root to all files.

How can we resolve the problem ? 

Thank you

We finally found a solution for the problem, 

 1- We added the site.xml file with all the parameters under /var/lib/sqoop2/tomcat-deployment/conf/

 2- We medified Tomcat-deployment.sh so the system will not delete and recreate a new conf directory

This solved the problem and Sqoop2 is now up and running
