I couldn't wait for a response, so i just uninstalled/reinstalled. But that didn't work too well either. Do you have any documentation of this process as it is not straight-forward. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/dsc-comm-ed-12-uninstallreinstall-issue#post-8855 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:01:57 +0000 philip.fielder_bhnetwork.com 8855@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Ans: cannot use yum remove to uninstall dsc12, use rpm -e cassandra12-1.2.1-1<br /> No offense intended, but that is rather stupid. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/dsc-comm-ed-12-uninstallreinstall-issue#post-8854 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:49:50 +0000 philip.fielder_bhnetwork.com 8854@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Env<br /> AWS EC2 m1.small<br /> CentOS 5.98</p> <p>Java<br /> java version "1.6.0_37"<br /> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06)<br /> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01, mixed mode)</p> <p>cat /etc/yum.repos.d/datastax.repo<br /> [datastax]<br /> name= DataStax Repo for Apache Cassandra<br /> baseurl=http://philip.fielder_bhnetwork.com:&lt;******&gt;@rpm.datastax.com/community<br /> enabled=1<br /> gpgcheck=0</p> <p>I tried an uninstall/install in an attempt to fix a startup issue w/ cassandra due a change in the cassandra.yaml</p> <p># yum remove dsc12<br /> # rm -rf /var/lib/cassandra<br /> # rm -rf /var/log/cassandra<br /> # rm -rf /etc/cassandra<br /> # yum install dsc12</p> <p>After a successful install, the dirs cassandra dirs in /var/lib, /var/log and /etc were not created.
