Hello All:
I had Cassandra 1.2.4 running up until yesterday, then after I took an
Ubuntu update (may be related or may not), I suddenly wasn't able to connect
any more.
The error was related to lack of memory and suggested a modification to
its config, I kept increasing the memory (I have 8 Gb), but Cassandra would
not start.
I read a post that it might be OpenJava related and I added Oracle Java
1.7.0_21, made it default, but the issue persisted.
I have then decided to remove the Cassandra community package and get
the DataStax one. Alas, it failed to install citing unmet dependency 1.2.4
C* package. I could not figure how I get it since the only valid option was
deb12.
I thus opted to re-get the one from Apache, made it installed no
problem, but to my dismay C* would NOT start!
I can see the error when running sudo cassandra -f is
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't figure out
log4j configuration: log4j-server.properties
atorg.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.initLog4j(CassandraDaemon.java:82)
atorg.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.<clinit>(CassandraDaemon.java:58)
The posts I found tell me to modify the
log4j-server.properties file.
But it is not present on my machine, in fact the directory
/etc/cassandra is empty.
I am out of ideas. What is wrong?
Regards,
Arthur
