As you can see that ambari is saying that you may find more detailed cause of failure inside the logs :

REASON: Ambari Server java process died with exitcode 1. 
Check /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.out for more information.

Can you please share the output of "/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log" and "/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.out" file it will show some errors.

Also please let us know if you are running ambari server as root user or non root user?

@AarifAkhter 

Looks like you have  not done the Database setup correctly  thats the reason it is failing to determine the MariaDB settings

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'MariaDB'

Please share the exact ambari server version and the output of the following commands:

# grep 'jdbc' /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties

# ambari-server --version

. 

Have you setup the maria Db correctly?  
Is MariaDB supported version listed for your Ambari version in Support matrix?  
https://supportmatrix.hortonworks.com/

[#5]

@AarifAkhter 

Please check the below doc if you ahve specified the Maria DB type correctly as mentioned in the following doc:

https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.7.5.0/administering-ambari/content/amb_using_ambari_...

# ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/path/to/mysql/mysql-connector-java.jar

[#6]

@AarifAkhter 
For MariaDB as well can you chose the --jdbc-db=mysql while setting up the Ambari DB.
Or please update the ambari.properties  to  mysql where you might have selected as MariaDB

server.jdbc.database=mysql

@AarifAkhter 

While setting up your maria DB have you performed the step mentioned in the doc as
https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.5.2.0/bk_ambari-administration/content/using_ambari_...

You must pre-load the Ambari database schema into your MySQL database using the schema script. Run the script in the same location where you find the Ambari-DDL-MySQL-CREATE.sql file. You should find the Ambari-DDL-MySQL-CREATE.sql file in the /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/ directory of the Ambari Server host, after you have installed Ambari Server.

Ambari also shows this kind of message whenuser performs "ambari-server setup" while setting up the database.

WARNING: Before starting Ambari Server, you must run the following DDL directly from the database shell to create the schema: /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/Ambari-DDL-MySQL-CREATE.sql

.

Also please let us know if  your MariaDB instance running on  "localhost"  Or on "ip-172-31-9-188.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.internal"

Can you please change the "localhost" to the hostname of the DB.

server.jdbc.hostname=ip-172-31-9-188.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.internal

Also please verify if the "MariaDB" exist on the mariaDB running on host 'ip-172-31-9-188.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.internal'

# mysql -u ambari -p
