Issue with Hue File browser

I install a hue web client on my hadoop 2.5.1 cluster, hive web ui in HUE running well, but when I click the filebrowser button I find this error on my log.

Processing exception: Cannot access: /user/hadoop. Note: You are a Hue admin but not a HDFS superuser (which is "hadoop").: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/hadoop/hue/build/env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.4.5-py2.6.egg/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 111, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/home/hadoop/hue/apps/filebrowser/src/filebrowser/views.py", line 104, in index return view(request, path) File "/home/hadoop/hue/apps/filebrowser/src/filebrowser/views.py", line 181, in view raise PopupException(msg , detail=e) PopupException: Cannot access: /user/hadoop. Note: You are a Hue admin but not a HDFS superuser (which is "hadoop").

I can't touch the hdfs with hue, has anyone else experienced this and determined the resolution?

in core-site.xml set 

hadoop.proxyuser.hue.groups =*
hadoop.proxyuser.hue.hosts =*

In hdfs-Site.xml / or you can give permission to hue user of dir /

dfs.permissions.enabled = false

That's right ! Either use username as "hadoop" to login to Hue or give permissions to Hue user on the HDFS.

We also need to add the user name in Hdfs to solve this issue. Try running these commands in your terminal

Considering x as your user name

sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -mkdir /user/x/
sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -chown x:x /user/x/
