You will need to refer to if you are planning to sue MySQL as ambari database : https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.6.1.5/bk_ambari-administration/content/using_amba...

Please download the MySQL driver from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

and then place the JAR as following in the location:

# ls /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar

.

Then run the ambari setup command as following:

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

.

You also need to create ambari users & tables schema in advance as mentioned in the above link.

Can you pelase check if by any chance have you set any incorrect JAVA_HOME on your host?

(OR) by any chance have you edited the "ambari.properties" file , the following property in incorrect way?

# grep 'java.home' /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties 

.

Can you please share/attach your complete "ambari.properties" and also the complete "ambari-server.out" file.

# grep 'java.home' /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties 

java.home=/usr/jdk64/jdk1.7.0_67

grep 'java.home' /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties

after use this this command showing this output 

java.home=/usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_77

Looks like when you might be running the "ambari-server setup" that time there might be some incorrect entries have happened which is causing the parsing error "syntax error near unexpected token"

As this is a fresh setup so it is better to re run the ambari-server setup command and try again.
