It is running. You can connect to it from the CLI or any other client. You can see what it is doing by reading the logs. cassandra -f starts Cassandra in the foreground, that is why it does not return a prompt when the server starts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ramesh S" To: user@cassandra.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 5:03:12 PM Subject: unable to start as a service on Ubuntu server Hello all, We installed Cassandra on our development server , which is a fresh Ubuntu server running only Cassandra. We followed all the instructions on this link and when we want to start the server as a service by issuing either of the command. service cassandra start /etc/init.d/cassandra start it waits for a few seconds, then returns the prompt. But the service never starts. When we try to start with cassandra -f , it works fine. What could be the issue. Any help would be appreciated. many thanks
