The first thing to check is the log files under /var/log/cassandra, should give you some hint.
Thanks. -Wei Sent from my Samsung smartphone on AT&T -------- Original message -------- Subject: Connecting to cassandra. From: Kevin Burton <rkevinbur...@charter.net> To: user@cassandra.apache.org CC: I have installed Cassandra on a Ubuntu Server but I fail to see it with either: ps ax or netstat –an | grep 9160 I see a file /etc/init.d/cassandra so I am assuming that it should start up. What else do I need to do? I have edited cassandra.yaml for all the places that specifically specify localhost or 127.0.0.1 and change it to the IP address of the machine/server where it is running. I am assuming that I have hit all the right configuration points. Ideas? Thank you. Kevin
