Starting the Hue Webserver

After you configure the hue.ini, you need to start the Hue Webserver and verify that it has started.

Procedure

  1. To start/restart the Hue Webserver, run the following command:
    • If Hue is installed on a cluster node (the common use case and recommended practice), run the following command to start the Hue webserver: 
      maprcli node services -name hue -action start -nodes <ip_address>
    • If Hue is installed on a cluster node (the common use case and recommended practice), run the following command to restart the Hue webserver: 
      maprcli node services -name hue -action restart -nodes <ip_address>
    • If Hue is installed on an edge node (not recommended), run the following command to start the Hue webserver: 
      /opt/mapr/hue/hue-<version>/bin/hue-server start
  2. To verify that the Hue webserver started, enter: lsof -i:8888
    The output from this command should look similar to this: 
    COMMAND     PID USER   FD   TYPE   DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
python2.6 27688 mapr    3u  IPv4 69955314      0t0  TCP *:ddi-tcp-1 (LISTEN)
python2.6 27691 mapr    3u  IPv4 69955314      0t0  TCP *:ddi-tcp-1 (LISTEN)
    You can also check Hue webserver logs to verify that Hue webserver started. If the Hue webserver was installed on a cluster node or an edge node, the log is found here: 
    /opt/mapr/hue/hue-<version>/logs/runcpserver.log
