Vivek, The location of CassandraDaemon changed between versions. (from org.apache.cassandra.thrift to org.apache.cassandra.service)
It is likely that the start scripts are picking up the old version on the classpath, which results in the main method not being found. Do you have CASSANDRA_HOME set? I believe the start scripts will use that. Perhaps you have that set and pointed to the older 1.1.X version? -brian On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Vivek Mishra <mishra.v...@gmail.com> wrote: > Finally, > i have to delete all rpm installed files to get this working, folders are: > /usr/share/cassandra > /etc/alternatives/cassandra > /usr/bin/cassandra > /usr/bin/cassandra.in.sh > /usr/bin/cassandra-cli > > Still don't understand why it's giving me such weird error: > ******************************************************************** > Error: Main method not found in class > org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon, please define the main method > as: > public static void main(String[] args) > ******************************************************************* > > This is not informative at all and does not even Help! > > -Vivek > > > On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 3:49 PM, Vivek Mishra <mishra.v...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> @aaron >> Thanks for your reply.
