I checked the permission on root and it is the following: drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jun 11 01:05 root
So anyway, I changed to use /tmp/spark_log instead and this time I made sure that all permissions are given to /tmp and /tmp/spark_log like below. But it still does not work: drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 4096 Jun 11 02:08 tmp drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jun 11 02:08 spark_log Thanks Zhen -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/problem-starting-the-history-server-on-EC2-tp7361p7370.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
