HBase binding to an incorrect address - hadoop

Question

I'm attempting to run running HBase in pseudo-distributed mode. I have followed all of the steps in the tutorial.
My hbase-site.xml looks like this:
<configuration>
<property>
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:9000/hbase</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
</property>
</configuration>
My regionservers looks like this (default):
localhost
In the logs, Zookeeper starts OK, MiniZK starts OK, then I get a BindException with this being the culprit:
Caused by: java.net.BindException: Problem binding to /192.168.0.1:0 : Cannot assign requested address
Where in the world did it get the address 192.168.0.1? And why is it trying to bind to port 0? That IP is my NAT gateway. The IP address of the machine it's on is 192.168.0.200.
I have looked in all of the config files but don't see anywhere that I would specify that address.
** UPDATE **
It looks like the problem was that HBase was trying to reverse-lookup my IP address by my hostname which-- because I'm using my router as a DNS-- resolved to ... my router.
When I add an "alias" in the /etc/hosts file to 127.0.0.1 it resolves just fine.
#arnon-rotem-gal-oz, I just installed whatever came in the HBase tarball. I'm assuming miniZK is a scaled-down version of Zookeeper? I'm not running a separate instance of it.
The code you posted did the trick to resolve the next problem that came up.

Answer 1

Check the zookeeper configuration file (zoo.cfg in the zookeeper/conf directory)
Also why do you have both zookeeper and miniZK?
Also (not directly related to your question) you need to tell hbase where to find the zookeeper e.g. adding the following to your hbase-site.xml
<property>
<name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>
<value>localhost</value>
</property>
