connection refused - AWS (HDPCD practice exam) : getting this error eventhouth i restarted ambari-agent

[#1]

Hi there,

I'm trying to work with AWS for HDPCD practice exam. I ran " hdfs dfs -ls / " cmd on the terminal and getting " connection refused error". I could see all the services are not running and displays with red colour rectangle icon. I ran the below command

ssh root@namenode

password: hadoop

service ambari-agent restart

exit

~/start-all-services.sh

but, no services are running except Zookeeper and Ganglia services. Please let me know to solve this issue. Thanks! @rich

Which Amazon region are getting the AMI from? Perhaps there is an AMI that is not working. Try starting up one in a different region and see if that works.

I am using us-west-2c. Will this be a issue?

[#4]

I don't know, but try a different a region and see if you have any success.

[#5]

my region is N virginia and public ip is ec2-54-210-61-32.compute-1.amazonaws.com

[#6]

Did you try this:

ssh root@namenode "ambari-agent restart"

[#7]

yes I executed the command

The log files indicate same error on host

[#8]

Try this:

1. Run /home/horton/start_all_services.sh

2. Wait 5 minutes

3. If Hadoop services are not started after 5 minutes, terminate your EC2 instance and create a new one because something failed in your VM

[#9]

it works now.. thanks for all your help

It worked for me by restarting the ambari service. But as Rich suggested we need to wait for 5 mins to get all service restarted. Thanks Rich.

Hello, can someone tell me how to scp to the practice EC2, copy my notes to my local before I terminate the instance.

I use the Public DNS:22, and chose the key file, but it still prompts me the user name and password, i tried U: horton and P: hadoop, cannot pass the authentication.
