Michael Shuler commented on CASSANDRA-10649: -------------------------------------------- In the attached cassandra.yaml file (is that your exact config?) there is an incorrectly (commented in attached file) spaced sub-config line {{#enabled: true}} at the beginning of the line after {{client_encryption_options:}} - this should have several spaces at the beginning of the line. I would suggest downloading a fresh copy of a stock default cassandra.yaml file and carefully reviewing a diff of your changes. 2.1.11: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/cassandra/cassandra-2.1.11/conf/cassandra.yaml 2.1 branch HEAD: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/cassandra/cassandra-2.1/conf/cassandra.yaml > Cassandra 2.1 start failed with exception:Exception encountered during startup > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-10649 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10649 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Configuration > Environment: Linux: Fedora-16 64 bit > Reporter: sandeep thakur > Fix For: 2.1.x > > Attachments: cassandra.yaml > > > I am trying to setup cassandra single node cluster. i've downloaded below > build: > apache-cassandra-2.1.11-bin.tar.gz > I've upgraded Java to 1.8 as well, as earlier it was throwing errors related > to Java version. > {code} > [root@localhost cassandra]# java -version > java version "1.8.0_60" > Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27) > Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode) > {code} > I've also verified the cassandra.yaml file from "http://www.yamllint.com/" as > well.
