Hi Josh, HI Billie, now it works, thank you both!
So in short: 1. Copy ACCUMULO_HOME to another distinct directory 2. export ACCUMULO_HOME=/path/to/new/directory 3. Edit conf/accumulo-site.xml in the new directory <property> <name>tserver.port.client</name> <value>29997</value> <!-- this should be a free port on the machine --> </property> <property> <name>replication.receipt.service.port</name> <value>0</value> <!-- 0 means random port --> </property> 4. bin/tup.sh to start the tablet servers Maybe you can recycle this for the user manual.
