Unable to load the WEB UI of NIFI

avatar

Hi, I have successfully installed the NIFI on HDP 2.6. NIFI service is running and there is no error or warning in nifi-app.log file. Log file says that WEB UI of NIFI can be accessed at http://172.17.0.2:8079/nifi but when I hit this URL in my browser it does not open WEB UI.

Can you ping that IP from the machine running your browser?

Make sure there isn't a firewall blocking access to port 8079.

Thanks, Matt

Hi @Matt Clarke,

I am able to access the NIFI UI now. Actually the problem was with the IP address. When I check the Inet address in VM console it showed me 192.168.5.128 and I connected to the VM from Putty using this Ip address. In Putty, when I checked the Inet address it showed me 172.17.0.2 and NIFI log file was also saying that you can access the NIFI UI at 172.17.0.2:port/nifi. But it was not loading using 172.17.0.2 then I tried opening NIFI UI at 192.168.5.128 and it worked. Why it is so? In my opinion, NIFI UI should open at 172.17.0.2:port/nifi instead of 192.168.5.128:port/nifi ??
