I had a small test cluster that I had installed HDP 2.5 on and then uninstalled everything. Now I downloaded HDP 2.6 and attempted to run ambari-server setup as shown and each time, I get the same error related to the user that ambari should run as. I have tried not changing the default, accepting the default (root), and using another existing user. all of these result in the same error. I have deleted everything related to hadoop on the server that I can find in case that was an issue from the previous 2.5 install.
Here is the error:
[root@pocc1 /]# ambari-server setup -v -gUsing python /usr/bin/pythonSetup ambari-serverINFO: Loading properties from /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.propertiesChecking SELinux...INFO: about to run command: /sbin/sestatusINFO: process_pid=13802SELinux status is 'disabled'INFO: Loading properties from /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.propertiesCustomize user account for ambari-server daemon [y/n] (n)? nINFO: Loading properties from /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.propertiesINFO: Cleaning bootstrap directory (/var/run/ambari-server/bootstrap) contents...ERROR: Unexpected error 'getpwuid(): uid not found: 1001'ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.

And here is what I found in /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server-command.log :

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I looked at the offending code and followed the python functions and could not find any obvious reason for the errors...but I don't write in Python, so I could easily have missed something. One other thing I noticed is that the ambari install seems to place some files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_server/ directory, but Python version on this OS (CentOS 7) is actually 2.7. There is no corresponding ambari_server directory in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages directory, which made me scratch my head a bit since I checked in the docs and saw that Python 2.7 should be fine...
