By | September 3, 2014
Problem:
When you start/restart the cloudera-scm-server, it starts fine, but it will die within few seconds.


# service cloudera-scm-server start
Starting cloudera-scm-server:                              [  OK  ]

# service cloudera-scm-server status
cloudera-scm-server dead but pid file exists 

Solution:


# service cloudera-scm-server stop

# service cloudera-scm-server-db stop 

# rm /var/run/cloudera-scm-server.pid

# service cloudera-scm-server-db start

# service cloudera-scm-server start

    Hi Puneetha,

    I am getting similar issue of cloudera-scm-server when I I tried to implement TLS level1, when I have changed the security tab. If you have any idea in which file in cloudera save the config of TLS security config so that I can change their directly.
