Zeppelin not restarting

[carlessanagustin]

I keep getting the next message when trying to restart Zeppelin service:

Traceback (most recent call last):

resource_management.core.exceptions.Fail: Execution of '/usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh restart >> /var/log/zeppelin/zeppelin-setup.log' returned 1. mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/run/zeppelin’: Permission denied
/usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh: line 187: /var/run/zeppelin/zeppelin-zeppelin-XXXXXXXXXX.pid: No such file or directory
cat: /var/run/zeppelin/zeppelin-zeppelin-XXXXXXXXXX.pid: No such file or directory

The important part is here: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/run/zeppelin’: Permission denied

To solve it:

FOLDER=/var/run/zeppelin

sudo mkdir -p $FOLDER
sudo chown -Rf zeppelin:hadoop $FOLDER

Will you fix it for the next release? Thank you.

The workaround only works until next reboot where /var/run is cleaned.
