Re: Can not connect with cqlsh to something different than localhost
This did not work either. I changed /etc/cassandra.yaml and restarted Cassandra (I even restarted the machine to make 100% sure). What I tried: 1) listen_address: localhost - connection OK (but of course I can't connect from outside the VM to localhost) 2) Set listen_interface: eth0 - connection refused 3) Set listen_address: 192.168.111.136 - connection refused What to do? Try: $ netstat -lnt and see which interface port 9042 is listening on. You will likely need to update cassandra.yaml to change the interface.

Re: Can not connect with cqlsh to something different than localhost
Two things: 1. Try telnet 192.168.111.136 9042 and see if it connects? 2. check for hostname in /etc/hosts, if it is mapped correctly. -Vivek On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 4:19 PM, Richard Snowden richard.t.snow...@gmail.com wrote: This did not work either.

Re: Can not connect with cqlsh to something different than localhost
Listen address needs the actual address, not the interface. This is best accomplished by setting up proper hostnames for each machine (through DNS or hosts file) and leaving listen_address blank, as it will pick the external ip. Otherwise, you'll need to set the listen address to the IP of the machine you want on each machine. I find the former to be less of a pain to manage.

I am running Cassandra 2.1.2 in an Ubuntu VM. cqlsh or cqlsh localhost works fine. But I can not connect from outside the VM (firewall, etc. disabled). Even when I do cqlsh 192.168.111.136 in my VM I get connection refused. This is strange because when I check my network config I can see that 192.168.111.136 is my IP: root@ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:02:e0:de inet addr:192.168.111.136 Bcast:192.168.111.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe02:e0de/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:16042 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8638 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:21307125 (21.3 MB) TX bytes:709471 (709.4 KB) loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:148053 (148.0 KB) TX bytes:148053 (148.0 KB) root@ubuntu:~# cqlsh 192.168.111.136 9042 Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'192.168.111.136': error(111, Tried connecting to [('192.168.111.136', 9042)].

Re: Can not connect with cqlsh to something different than localhost
Try: $ netstat -lnt and see which interface port 9042 is listening on. You will likely need to update cassandra.yaml to change the interface. By default, Cassandra is listening on localhost so your local cqlsh session works.
