Just solved it. I’m using localhost for the listen_address, 0.0.0.0 for the rpc_address, and 127.0.0.1 for the seeds.

Not sure if you will get a quorum when there dev's are on vacation :) Regards, </VJ> On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 11:05 AM, Stephen Pope <stephen.p...@quest.com<mailto:stephen.p...@quest.com>> wrote: Is there a way to set up a single node cluster without specifying anything about the specific machine in cassandra.yaml? I’ve cleared the values from listen_address and rpc_address, but it complains upon startup that no other nodes can be seen (presumably because the ip in the seeds doesn’t match). The reason I’m trying to do this is because we deploy cassandra on each developer’s machine, and we’d like to be able to use our client across machines using the hostname. Ideally, none of the developers would have to change the base config that gets deployed. The default config file works as a single node cluster, but won’t let you talk to it across machines (we’re using windows, in case it’s relevant). Cheers, Steve
