Error when Communicating with the server while Cluster Setup in Cloudera

I am trying to up Hadoop in Centos-7 usign CLoudera, but while Cluster Setup process (Single node), I am getting this error stating:

There was an error when communicating with the server. See the log file for more information.

enter image description here I logged into cloudera-scm-agent.log file using 

sudo cat /var/log/cloudera-scm-agent/cloudera-scm-agent.log

And I see Failed directory creation and connection refused errors.
The detailed log file can be found here.

Can someone please assist me on what am I doing wrong here?

Solution

  • Have you installed the cluster with single user mode? if so the system user "cloudera-scm" should have permission to perform read, write operation on service log, pid, data directory. From your log message, all services are refused to start because of improper file system permission.
