Manual installing of Cloudera Manager 5.3.0

[#1]

Hi all,

I'm tring to install Cloudera Manager 5.3.0.

I'm using the embaded postgress database.

When I start the cloudera server, I receive the following error in its log file :

I assume that I have to specify somewhere the latest_supported property, but I don't know where.

I tried also to install the current Cloudera Manager (5.4.7) and it works perfectly.

Do you have any suggestions to solve the problem ?

Thanks,

Tudor

The {latest_supported} URL is new to CM5.4, it is used to ensure CM does not download/install a parcel that is newer than itself e.g. CM5.4 with CDH5.5 (when it is released). This URL text will not be parsed as valid in CM5.3, just replace it with http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/parcels/5.3/ (to use the latest 5.3.x CDH)

edit: fixed URL

Hi Gautam,

thanks for your replay.

I have this error when I want to start Cloudera Manager Server using command "sudo service cloudera-scm-server start" . So, I don't have access to http://ip_cloudera_server:7180.
I would like to know where to specify the property "latest_supported" CDH version, taking in consideration that I can't access http://ip_cloudera_server:7180.
My first guess is that I have to specify it into the embeded postgress database, but I didn't find how until now.

Thank,
Tudor

Hi again Gautam,

in the end I managed to manually install Cloudera Manager 5.3.0.

The problem was caused on by the previous manual install of Cloudera Manager 5.4.7.

I made a full cleanup of my server, using this instructions : "http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/cloudera-manager/v5-1-x/Cloudera-Manager-I... and know it works.

Thanks for your interest,
Tudor
