执行ambari-server setup……的命令时并没有让配置数据库什么的信息，这种情况等你后面启动服务时就会报错了，
此时再执行一次setup操作就看到配置数据库了，
正常setup应该是这样的，
[root@hadoop1 hadoop]# ambari-server setup

如果不是上面那样输出，会报以下错误：
启动服务时的报错信息：
ambari-server start
Using python /usr/bin/python
Starting ambari-server
ERROR: Exiting with exit code -1.
REASON: DB Name property not set in config file.
- If this is a new setup, then run the "ambari-server setup" command to create the user
- If this is an upgrade of an existing setup, run the "ambari-server upgrade" command.
Refer to the Ambari documentation for more information on setup and upgrade.
一般情况是数据库配置有问题，我这里是数据库登录密码错了，跟着教程配置的，结果配置启动链接数据库的信息时用了默认的登录密码，直接去数据库里改对密码就好了，
启动正确的命令行输出信息是这样的：
[root@hadoop1 hadoop]# ambari-server start
