CM 5 Installation on CentOS 6

[#1]

Well, as pleasant as CM 4.x installations were, that's as miserable as the CM 5 installation is for me.  😞

It started with squacks about j2sdk1.7, which I had to manually download and rpm up.  Now I get the following in /var/log/cloudera-manager-installer/3.install-cloudera-manager-server.log, which seems to say that it's trying to install CM 4.6?  I am thoroughly confused and (more importantly) dead in the water . . .

Hi Bogolese,

Sorry to hear!

Something seems off. If you notice the version of packages it's trying to install is still from CDH4 "4.6.0-1.cm460.p0.140".

Are you upgrading an existing cluster? Or, are you starting from scratch?

Especially, if the latter, may I recommend a few debugging steps:

1. Let's make sure there are no old lingering packages from the past

rpm -qa | grep cloudera

will show you all packages with cloudera in the name, which should be good enough for now.

2. Let's run 'yum clean all' to make sure all the repo information is up-to-date.

3. You would need the cloudera manager repo for CDH5 under /etc/yum.repos.d but how that actually ends up there depends on the exact method of installation. So, let's not worry about that for now but just an fyi.

Let me know how it goes.

BTW, you shouldn't need to install JDK7 by yourself, so something does seem off.

CM 4.6 was installed, but I UNinstalled it before I started this process.

1.  rpm -qa | grep cloudera returns nothing

2.  yum clean all was run (several times actually) -- I run it before every install attempt

3.  The installation was initiated by downloading cloudera-manager-installer.bin from cloudera.com (the Express version), making it executable, and running it (sudo ./cloudera-manager-installer.bin).  If there is something I need to do to get the repo to /etc/yum.repos.d, please let me know, but I figured the installer would do that.

Note that the original installation complaint was the the j2sdk1.7 package wasn't available, so I downloaded that from cloudera.com and rpm -ivh 'd it.

Thank you for your help.

Sure thing.
You mentioned "CM 4.6 was installed, but I installed it before I started
this process."

I am assuming you meant uninstalled it? I am not sure how kosher it is to
have two major CM versions running on the same box, probably not kosher at
all.

If you did uninstall, I think the uninstall may not have been clean. Can
you perhaps, cd into /etc/yum.repos.d and make sure there are no list files
there from cm4/cdh4 time? And, if so, move them out of there, do a yum
clean all and try the installer again.

I personally tried downloading the installer from Cloudera Express and it
sure looks like it's the CM5 installer, doing the right thing and
installing CM5.

Make sure you clicked the CM 5 installer link. There's one for CM 4, one for CM 5. It should be clear from the URL.

Thanks,

Darren

<sarcasm>Yeah, and I checked that the power switch was on and I unplugged the machine and waited thirty seconds before plugging it back in.</sarcasm>

Apparently this was the issue as it reported a successful install. But now CM doesn't come up in my browser at port 7180.  😞

Still working through that.  The content of the log file follows:
