HDP Install on Single VirtualBox Node

I followed the instructions for installing HDP with HMC on a single node cluster (http://blog.codecentric.de/en/2012/12/turorial-installing-a-apache-hadoop-single-node-cluster-with-hortonworks-data-platform/) on a CentOS 6.3 VirtualBox host. I get to the point where everything starts installing but the first step (http://localhost/hmc/html) seems to fail. When I look in the hmc.log file I find the following:

[2013:02:17 07:27:53][INFO][HMCTxnUtils][HMCTxnUtils.php:137][execBackgroundProcess]: Found child pid, command=/usr/bin/php ./addNodes/verifyAndUpdateNodesInfo.php, txnId=1, output=Executing /usr/bin/php ./addNodes/verifyAndUpdateNodesInfo.php hadoop root 1 102 2 /var/run/hmc/clusters/hadoop/hosts.txt > /var/log/hmc/hmc.txn.1.log 2>&1

What exactly is the problem here? I couldn’t even uninstall everything as the uninstall failed.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
as I can see, you are trying to use obsolete HDP version…
Please, do not do it and go to the latest one instead, which is HDP 1.2.1.

Please, take a look on the step-by-step instructions here:

http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP1/HDP-1.2.1/bk_using_Ambari_book/content/ambari-chap1.html

Thank you!
Sasha
