I finally got it to work by putting the putting “127.0.0.1” in the list of seed IPs. Any other address triggered the warning that Cassandra would not be auto-booted since it was listed as a seed machine and the init process never happened. I am not sure of the impact of setting it to this loopback address.

Apparently I changed too much in the cassandra.yaml file. What should the ‘seed’ entry be? From the comments it is a comma separated list of IP addresses. Should I just comment this entry out? The comment is made that 0.0.0.0 is never correct. # any class that implements the SeedProvider interface and has a # constructor that takes a Map<String, String> of parameters will do. seed_provider: # Addresses of hosts that are deemed contact points. # Cassandra nodes use this list of hosts to find each other and learn # the topology of the ring. You must change this if you are running # multiple nodes! - class_name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider parameters: # seeds is actually a comma-delimited list of addresses. # Ex: "<ip1>,<ip2>,<ip3>" - seeds: "172.16.35.108" What should I put? Do you think this is the problem why it is not starting up?

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
