Unable connect Thrift client to cassandra remotely (connection refused)

[Weijun Li]

Hello,

 

I installed Cassandra  0.50 and started the instance without any problem.
The problem is: if I run

 

bin/cassandra-cli --host localhost -port 9160

 

it worked perfectly.

 

But whenever I tried to connect from any non-localhost and non-127.0.0.1
address (from other server or same server with domain name), I got
"connection refused", --no matter how I open port, disable firewall or
change port number.

 

So is there any default restriction in Cassandra that doesn't allow
non-localhost client connection? How can I get Cassandra-cli to work
remotely on an Cassandra instance? Also it seems to have same issue for
nodeprobe.

 

-bash-3.1# bin/cassandra-cli --host [xxxx-hostname] -port 9160
