Hi,
I have downloaded apache-cassandra-1.2.3-bin.tar.gz and un-zipped it on my
Windows7 machine (I did not find a Windows-specific distributable...). Then, I
tried to start Cassandra as following and got an error:
C:\Marina\Tools\apache-cassandra-1.2.3\bin>cassandra.bat -f
Starting Cassandra Server
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't figure out log4j configuration:
log4j-server.properties
at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.initLog4j(CassandraDaemo
n.java:81)
at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.<clinit>(CassandraDaemon
.java:57)
Could not find the main class: org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon. Pr
ogram will exit.
C:\Marina\Tools\apache-cassandra-1.2.3\bin>
It looks similar to the Cassandra issue that was already fixed:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2383
however I am still getting this error....
I am an Administrator on my machine, and have access to all files in the apache-
cassandra-1.2.3\conf dir, including the log4j ones.
Do I need to configure anything else on Winows ? I did not find any Windows-
specific installation/setup/startup instructions - if there are such documents
somewhere, please let me know!
Thanks,
Marina
