Disable SELinux and PackageKit and check the umask Value

  1. You must disable SELinux for the Ambari setup to function. On each host in your cluster,

    setenforce 0

    [Note]Note

    To permanently disable SELinux set SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config This ensures that SELinux does not turn itself on after you reboot the machine .

  2. On an installation host running RHEL/CentOS with PackageKit installed, open /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/refresh-packagekit.conf using a text editor. Make the following change:

    enabled=0

    [Note]Note

    PackageKit is not enabled by default on Debian, SLES, or Ubuntu systems. Unless you have specifically enabled PackageKit, you may skip this step for a Debian, SLES, or Ubuntu installation host.

  3. UMASK (User Mask or User file creation MASK) sets the default permissions or base permissions granted when a new file or folder is created on a Linux machine. Most Linux distros set 022 as the default umask value. A umask value of 022 grants read, write, execute permissions of 755 for new files or folders. A umask value of 027 grants read, write, execute permissions of 750 for new files or folders.

    Ambari & HDP support umask values of 022 (0022 is functionally equivalent), 027 (0027 is functionally equivalent). These values must be set on all hosts.

    UMASK Examples:

    Setting the umask for your current login session:

    umask 0022

    Checking your current umask:

    umask 0022

    Permanently changing the umask for all interactive users:

    echo umask 0022 >> /etc/profile
