Can't start the namenode

[Mark Kerzner]

Hi,

when I am trying to start a namenode in pseudo-mode

sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-0.20-namenode start


I get a permission error


java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/usr/lib/hadoop-0.20/logs/hadoop-hadoop-namenode-myservername.log
(Permission denied)


However, it does create another log file in the same directory


ls /usr/lib/hadoop-0.20/logs

hadoop-hadoop-namenode-myservername.out


I am using CDH3, what am I doing wrong?


Thank you,

Mark
