cassandra 3.4 on virtual box not starting - linux

Question

I am using mac osx. i created 3 virtual box by virtualbox. I've installed centos7 minimal version on each of the virtual box.
Then i installed cassandra on each of the box. After installation it was starting by cqlsh and nodetool status command.
But after then when i was trying to link each other and edit cassandra.yaml file its started showing
('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': error(111, "Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error: Connection refused")})
i've edited the cassandra.yaml file as follows:
cluster_name: 'Home Cluster'
num_tokens: 256
partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner
- seeds: "192.168.56.102,192.168.56.103"
storage_port: 7000
listen_address: 192.168.56.102
rpc_address: 192.168.56.102
rpc_port: 9160
endpoint_snitch: SimpleSnitch
my /etc/hosts file contains:
192.168.56.102 node01
192.168.56.103 node02
192.168.56.104 node03
Please tell me whats wrong i'm doing? My cassandra cluster not working.
solution: I got the solution from AKKI. The problem was enpoint_snitch. I made the endpoint_snitch=GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and it fixed. My now output is as follows:
[root#dbnode2 ~]# nodetool status
Datacenter: dc1

Answer 1

I had faced similar problem,
I tried the following solution:
In Cassandra.yaml file check if you have,
start_rpc = true
Changed my endpoint snitch to
endpoint_snitch: GossipingFilePropertySnitch
Opened all ports Cassandra uses on my CentOS
Cassandra inter-node ports
Port number Description
7000 Cassandra inter-node cluster communication.
7001 Cassandra SSL inter-node cluster communication.
7199 Cassandra JMX monitoring port.
Cassandra client port
Port number Description
9042 Cassandra client port.
9160 Cassandra client port (Thrift).
Command to open ports on CentOs 7(Find it according to your OS):
>sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9042/tcp --permanent
>sudo firewall-cmd –reload
Then Restart your systems
Also it seems that you are changing the Cassandra.Yaml file after starting cassandra.
Make sure you edit your Cassandra.yaml file on all nodes before starting Cassandra
Also remember to start the seed node first.
