Hi all,
I have downloaded the DataStax build of cassandra (dsc...-bin.tar.gz) and unzipped appropriately onto a Solaris Server machine. After editing configuration directories in accordance to http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted/, I tried starting cassandra for the first time using "./cassandra -f" from ~/cassandra/bin, but encounter an exception on startup that results in a stack trace.
The log file is below.
I have installed the same build of cassandra on a windows machine (for testing) but have never encountered this type of error. I'd appreciate it if Cassandra vets could help me out.
