Ambiguities in the Tutorial and things that don't work

Context: using Virtual Box and HDP 2.5 sandbox

In section 2, it states "Navigate to Ambari welcome page using the url given on Sandbox welcome page.". The Sandbox Welcome page is "localhost:8888", but there is no URL on this page for Ambari. I do find it when I click on "quick links" a the bottom of the page. This should be clarified in the material.

However, there is only one link provided in the Ambari quick link and it takes me to Zeppelin.

When I go thru the steps using "ifconfig" to find my host address (which happened to be 172.17.0.2) and then open in my browser that address with 8080 appended, it just times out. Should this be different than "localhost:8080"? But as noted this link takes me to Zeppelin welcome page, not Ambari.

What should the link be to Ambari (or if I have missed something, what did I miss)?

Ambari should always run on 8080 port, so connecting to http://localhost:8080 should take you directly to the ambari login.

Zeppelin runs on port 9995.

Here you go:

Back at it this morning and, while I don't quite get what's happening, I consider this resolved. This morning I did the following:

  • removed a prior install of Apache Zeppelin after I realized that after a reboot, it still responded to localhost:8080
  • confirmed it was indeed gone
  • started up Virtual box and started the sandbox
  • then zeppelin still responded to localhost:8080, which really confused me
  • then tried localhost:9995, to which a different zeppelin page responded - so that was a good thing
  • then, remembering something from a previous experience, I tried 127.0.0.1:8080 and then Ambari responded with its login page

This is now the second time I have seen localhost and 127.0.0.1 be treated differently; one of these days I'll have to figure out why. But for now, I'm back in business and continuing the tutorial.

Thanks everyone for their help!
