When I installed the Hortonworks HDP 2.2 Sandbox in my VMware Player, I had a problem after connecting to the first web page indicated on the startup screen. That web page had bad links.

The quick and dirty solution is to explicitly include the port number 8888 in your URL.

If you want to see more detailed description of the problem (as I saw it) and the workaround (that worked for me), go to this blog entry:
