Unable To Login Via Default Login Credentials of Admin in Ambari

avatar
Explorer

I installed hortonworks sandbox around two weeks ago on a cloud server of linode with a machine of 8GB RAM. I access this node of Linode via Putty. On that node, I'm using hadoop inside a docker that I installed on that system.

Everything is working fine. Also, I am able to login Ambari via the default login credentials like maria_dev, raj_ops, holger_govand amy_ds.

But I am unable to login via the default login credentials of admin. In the command line, I tried the following commands :

1. ambari-server restart  
2. ambari-admin-password-reset

But even after changing the password, it didn't workout for me.

Also I tried changing it from the backend and login :

1. # psql -U ambari -d ambari
2. Passwordfor user ambari: bigdata
3. ambari=> update ambari.users set user_password='538916f8943ec225d97a9a86a2c6ec0818c1cd400e09e03b660fdaaec4af29ddbb6f2b1033b81b00'where user_name='admin';
4. ambari=> \q# 
5. ambari-server restart

After the 5th step the password should be admin. But it is not the case. I was still unable to login. Also after the 5th step, i.e. after typing ambari-server restart and hitting enter, I was getting the following error :

Using python  /usr/bin/python

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/ambari-server/conf/log4j.properties' 

I am getting the IOError. I'm unable to sort out the issue.

Can someone please help me to login via the login credentials of admin ?

I guess once the "log4j.properties" error is resolved then you should be able to start the Ambari Server properly.

Please follow the suggestion mentioned in the other HCC thread of yours to fix the missing "log4j.properties" issue and then restart ambari server.

Yes, I solved that issue. And I was able to login as admin as well. Thanks for helping me out. Now within the admin account, I'm facing one more problem : on clicking on Hive View I'm getting the following error :

Service Hive check failed: Cannot open a hive connection with connect string jdbc:hive2://sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2;hive.server2.proxy.user=admin

Can you please help me sort out this problem as well ?
