Not able to install Zeppelin on an Ambari Managed Cluster

[#1]

@Ali Bajwa : We were following your github Post : https://github.com/hortonworks-gallery/ambari-zeppelin-service#option-1-deploy-zeppelin-on-existing-...

We got an error when Ambari was installing Zeppelin . OS : CentOS 6.5 . Ambari 2.2 , HDP 2.3.4 . We were installing zeppelin on a node other than the Ambari Server node.

and were getting the following error in our Zeppelin logs

@Ali Bajwa your input requested

[#3]

@Mangesh Kaslikar

are you still having issues? Did you retry? Looks like maven was not available at the time.

[#4]

@Mangesh Kaslikar if you're still running into trouble, please list the steps/commands you executed so others can try to reproduce your issue. Thanks.

[#5 · Accepted solution]

Hi all ,

I have solved the issue. It was a java.security.ProviderException: java.security.KeyException . I did a

yum install nss

and that resolved it.

Thanks

Awesome! I was able to create the issue and verify the workaround you've posted. As an FYI to others, here are the detailed steps to resolve this issue:

• To use Ambari to manage (start/stop) the Zeppelin service, run the following commands on the node running Ambari server. For example, on CentOS 6.*:

yum install -y git
VERSION=`hdp-select status hadoop-client | sed 's/hadoop-client - \([0-9]\.[0-9]\).*/\1/'`
sudo git clone https://github.com/hortonworks-gallery/ambari-zeppelin-service.git /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/$VERSION/services/ZEPPELIN 
sudo service ambari-server restart

• On a node (call it 'Node A') that is not running Ambari server, install the nss package:

yum install -y nss

• Once Ambari is back up and you've install the nss package to "Node A", in Ambari, go Actions -> Add service -> check Zeppelin service -> Place the Zeppelin service on Node A in the assign masters step and click Next -> Next -> Next -> Deploy.
• The installation will start once you click Deploy
• Once complete, the Zeppelin Notebook service will be running. You can navigate to http://<FQDN of Node A>:9995 or follow the steps here to create the Ambari view.
