Debian package does not create /var/lib/cassandra/data
------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-4058
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4058
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Packaging
Environment: Ubuntu 11.10
Reporter: Jacob Fenwick
I installed Cassandra using the Debian packages as described here:
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging
When trying to start Cassandra using /etc/init.d/cassandra start I get this
error: java.io.IOError: java.io.IOException: unable to mkdirs
/var/lib/cassandra/data
The directory /var/lib/cassandra exists, but the directory
/var/lib/cassandra/data does not.
I would assume the data directory should have been created with the correct
permissions, but it was not.
However, I tried creating /var/lib/cassandra/data and setting it the
permissions to 666 and setting the user/group to cassandra/cassandra, and now I
get this error:
java.lang.AssertionError: Directory /var/lib/cassandra/data is not accessible.
So what could possibly be the problem here?
