Hue Load Balancer Permission denied error | Arkit

I am using Cloudera distribution Hadoop, recently commissioned a new host into the Hadoop cluster. Trying to bring the Hue Load Balancer service however I keep getting an error message saying permission denied.  Hue Load Balancer Permission denied error

If I set full permission to /run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/ directory still I am getting the same error again and again, below is the error message

After analyzing a few attempts I understand that SELinux is the culprit, to resolve the issue set SELinux into permissive mode using the below command

# setenforce 0

Disable the SELinux for a permanent solution and reboot the server

That’s resolved the issue. Happy troubleshooting.
