Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.
it means 'cassandra starting is ok' right?
but when i check the node status like this
"nodetool status"
then i met this logs.
"] nodetool status"
nodetool: Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199' - ConnectException:
Connection refused)
so i searched a lot on google.
i found some information.
so i tried this.
edit cassandra-env.sh
"JVM_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1"
expend memory size : 1GB -> 2GB
but i still faced same error.

Answer 1

First, you need to make sure that the activated version of OpenJDK should be openjdk-8-jdk. If you have multiple versions of OpenJDK on your machine, then you could follow this tutorial to set a default version (in this case openjdk-8-jdk).
Then, you need to check the status of cassandra service again. The result for activating cassandra service should be as following
After that, you can follow this instruction to modify JVM_OPTS in /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh. In my case, I do not need to follow 2nd step. Finally, when checking status of a node, you should see the result as following

Answer 2

The cassandra service takes some time to start. After the install, check whether the service has started by using
service --status-all
and you will see something like this
[ + ] cassandra
[ - ] dbus
[ ? ] hwclock.sh
[ ? ] kmod
[ - ] ntp
[ - ] procps
[ - ] rsync
[ - ] udev
[ - ] x11-common
if you see a - sign instead of a + sign next to cassandra, it would mean that service has not yet started. you can start it by issuing this command
service cassandra restart
keep checking the status until you get the a +. Now you should be able to execute the nodetool command
nodetool status
and now you should get the desired result, someething like this
Datacenter: datacenter1

this worked for me

Answer 3

When I checked this "systemctl status cassandra" I could see Active: failed as seen below
● cassandra.service - LSB: distributed storage system for structured
data Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/cassandra; bad; vendor
preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: signal) since Fri
2022-01-07 02:28:07 UTC; 10min ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Main PID: 8239 (code=killed, signal=KILL)
So I changed below parameter in cassandra-env.sh
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost"
After I changed the parameter I could see this
[root#ip-172-31-28-163 default.conf]# systemctl status cassandra ●
cassandra.service - LSB: distributed storage system for structured
data Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/cassandra; bad; vendor
preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Fri
2022-01-07 02:47:27 UTC; 12min ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Be sure to do this as root user. Be careful as well

Answer 4

Check in the file cassandra-env.sh (/etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh) if the parameters system_memory_in_mb and system_cpu_cores values is configured acoording your machine capabilites

Answer 5

Another solution. In my case I was installing Cassandra 41x with older Java 8 Version which caused an issue and in case to solve this I installed new Java 11. Just provision right version of Java.
