It is a parameter setting: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4651541/how-to-set-heapdumponoutofmemoryerror-and-heapdumppath-in-startup-bat-file-on-wi" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4651541/how-to-set-heapdumponoutofmemoryerror-and-heapdumppath-in-startup-bat-file-on-wi</a></p> <p>If you had a previous version of cassandra installed, perform an upgrade (see <a href="http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/install/upgrading)" rel="nofollow">http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/install/upgrading)</a> instead of an install if you need to keep your previous data. If you don't need your previous data, clear the /var/lib/cassandra directory before starting the new version:</p> <p>as root: rm -rf /var/lib/cassandra/*</p> <p>If you don't do this, the Cassandra 1.2 will try to use your old version of the database--this will not work. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-not-running-after-installation#post-8308 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 05:47:13 +0000 Dileep 8308@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Hi Khan,</p> <p>Thanks for the reply.
