This is unix filesystem permission issue.

Make sure to provide user running ambari-server has Read/Write permission on /var/run/ambari-server and its all subdirectories.

You can run command : chown -R <ambari-server-user> /var/run/ambari-server

If you are not sure which user is running ambari-server , go to ambariserver logs (/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log) and you can find the username in detailed error stack trace or the point when you start running ambari-server.

Hope this helps.

Can you paste the output of below command on ambari server?

ls -lrt /var/run/ambari-server/stack-recommendations/

chown -R ambari /var/run/ambari-server

Thanks

Another way you can find a user is by looking in the conf file:

cat /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties | grep ambari-server.user
