Exception when starting Vertica Management Console

adoub

Hello friends,

 

I've successfully installed Vertica on a 3-node cluster. The nodes are running on CentOS 6 in AWS. Now I'm trying to install and start the Vertica Management Console on one of the nodes using the following command:

 

yum install /vertica-console-7.1.2-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm

 

The install completes without error, but the console is not available when I visit https://hostname:5450/webui. Restarting the vertica-consoled service *sometimes* fixes the issue and I can then access the console in the browser, but most times I get the following stack trace:

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on how to debug this issue? Thanks!
