Connection failed to http://sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:50070

[#1]

I am receiving the following error on the Hortonworks HDP Sandbox:

Connection failed to http://sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:50070 (<urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>)

All of the solutions I found online, were to give it time, to start all and to restart. I have waited for over a day now and it does not work still. I have clocked the start all and no changes. For "restart all" it seems to be grayed out from the image below:

Any reason for why this is grayed out?

Please let me know if there is any action I can do to have this working. I have 29 Alerts from the Sandbox it is all due to this error. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi....you need to check if the service has started correctly and it is running on port 50070. If its fine, then check if there is a firewall (i see its a sandbox so external firewall may not be a cause but check if machines firewall is stopped and disabled). Also good to check SELinux is disabled.

If none of this work, try to restart the host machine on which the sandbox is running.

Hope this helps. If the comment helps you to find a solution or move forward, please accept it as a solution for other community members.
