             Summary: Provide more intuitive error message when unable to change Ambari server pid or log dirs
                 Key: AMBARI-15684
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-15684
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrew Onischuk
            Assignee: Andrew Onischuk
             Fix For: 2.4.0
         Attachments: AMBARI-15684.patch

I am unable to change the Ambari Server log and pid directory and the error is
not very intuitive.

1\. Ran ambari server setup  
2\. changed ambari server daemon to ambaritest (from root)  
3\. edited the files to change log and pid  
4\. Not working. Might be related to #2. Need to confirm changing log and/or
pid working in all paths: root, non-root, after setup, after
setup->start->stop, etc.

vi /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties  
pid.dir=/tmp/run/ambari-server
