hello,

I am new to the world of non-relational databases. Cassandra is
refreshingly easy to setup and has a great command line environment. I
genuinely like the command line tools and look forward to learning
more.

 However I have been asked to setup a php/cassandra site that also has
some mysql components. I had the site up and running pretty quickly on
the mysql end of things. But I have been struggling to get the
cassandra portion working for several days at this point without luck.

 I am a little unfamiliar with cassandra's files but I can perform
enough configuration to get a few nodes gossiping. Although at the
moment I have to get only one website running. I've implemented sl4j.
I can start cassandra without any problems and connect to port 9160 on
telnet and use the command line tools.

 When I hit the cassandra portions of the site this is what appears
in the apache error logs:

[root@beta ~]# tail -f /var/log/httpd/jf-error.log

 What you see in the web browser is looks like the PHP 'white screen
of death' although no errors turn up on the screen. Although E_ALL is
configured in php.ini

 error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED



Thrift is installed and has the cassandra bindings:

[root@beta ~]# ls -l /usr/local/src/thrift/lib/php/src/packages/cassandra/
total 252
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 192089 Dec 27 10:08 Cassandra.php

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache  50965 Dec 27 10:08 cassandra_types.php


And this is what you see in the cassandra logs when I start the cassandra db.

 The original website used cassandra 0.6.8 but I have also been asked
to use the latest version so at this point I am using 1.0.6. I have
done my best to duplicate the libraries used in the old version of the
site.

 Here are the libraries from the old (0.6.8) that the site was
originally running with:

I'd be happy to provide some additional info in regards to configs if
I can get some pointers on where and what to look for.

I hope to resolve this in the coming days and I would greatly
appreciate any input you might have. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
tim
