cloudera-scm-server is dead and pid file exists

[#1]

Hi everyone, i was tring to install cloudera manager following the tutorial "www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/cloudera-manager/v4-8-2/Cloudera-Manager-Installa...

After installation, i was not able to open cloudera manager at "localhost:7180". I tried to restart the cloudera-scm-manager using the command "service cloudera-scm-server restart" howerev,, it stoped after a few seconds and gave the folllowing error message "cloudera-scm-server is dead and pid file exists"

I tried to check the log file of cloudera-scm-server but nothing seems wrong. Anybody have a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I fix this issue as ..

1) go to the /etc/cloudera-scm-agent/config.ini ---- file  and then update the following parameters in this file according to your servers.

## It should not normally be necessary to modify these.
# Port that the CM agent should listen on.
listening_port=9000

# IP Address that the CM agent should listen on.
listening_ip=192.168.0.000    -------------------------------------------------------> need your server IP

# Hostname that the CM agent reports as its hostname. If unset, will be
# obtained in code through something like this:
#
# python -c 'import socket; \
# print socket.getfqdn(), \
# socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())'
#
listening_hostname=192.168.0.000 ------------------------------------------------> need your server Ip same as above

use_tls=1

save this setting in config.ini file and then

restart cloudera-scm-agent services as 

service cloudera-scm-agent restart

your issue will resolved...
