Hadoop cluster setup - java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

I want to setup a hadoop-cluster in pseudo-distributed mode. I managed to perform all the setup-steps, including startuping a Namenode, Datanode, Jobtracker and a Tasktracker on my machine.

Then I tried to run some exemplary programms and faced the java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused error. I stepped back to the very first steps of running some operations in standalone mode and faced the same problem.

I performed even triple-check of all the installation steps and have no idea how to fix it. (I am new to Hadoop and a beginner Ubuntu user thus I kindly ask you for "taking it into account" if providing any guide or tip).

This is the error output I keep receiving:

====================================================

UPDATE 1.

I updated the core-site.xml and now I have:

<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://marta-komputer:9000</value>
</property>

but I keep receiving the error - now starting as:

15/03/01 00:59:34 INFO client.RMProxy: Connecting to ResourceManager at /0.0.0.0:8032
java.net.ConnectException: Call From marta-komputer.home/192.168.1.8 to marta-komputer:9000 failed on connection exception:     java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see:    http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused

I also notice that telnet localhost 9000 is not working:

hduser@marta-komputer:~$ telnet localhost 9000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

For me these steps worked

  1. stop-all.sh
  2. hadoop namenode -format
  3. start-all.sh

Hi Edit your conf/core-site.xml and change localhost to 0.0.0.0. Use the conf below. That should work.

<configuration>
  <property>
 <name>fs.default.name</name>
 <value>hdfs://0.0.0.0:9000</value>
</property>
