As per log file the issue seems to be database connectivity, however, I am able to login to the database

Thanks for the quick response. The issue was with the password in /etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat file.

There are couple of follow up questions:

1) While setting up ambari server it didn't allowed me to enter any special character.

Enter Database Password (bigdata):

Invalid characters in password. Use only alphanumeric or _ or - characters

2) After successfully starting ambari server is ambari-server.log file is filling up with errors. As log file is continuously growing up with errors I am uploading the log file.

Do I need to rerun below command with mysql-connector-java for version 5.1.40 or just unlink the existing one and redirect to the new mysql-connector-java.jar?

ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar

Please advise.

Thank you,

Sachin A
