in a tarball installation, the location of cassandra.yaml is defined by the property $CASSANDRA_CONF defined on bin/cassandra.in.sh
this file is located by the bin/cassandra binary, and can be in one of the following directories: bin/cassandra.in.sh ~/.cassandra.in.sh /usr/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh /usr/local/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh /opt/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh you may find documentation on that by reading the "CONTROLLING STARTUP" section of your bin/cassandra executable 2015-06-20 9:28 GMT-03:00 Thouraya TH <thouray...@gmail.com>: > Hi all; > > I have, yesterday, downloaded cassandra archive and unpack it.
