Gerben Kegel created CASSANDRA-4359: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Using IPv6 under Windows 7 says: "Address family not supported by protocol family" Key: CASSANDRA-4359 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4359 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 1.1.1 Environment: Windows 7 Reporter: Gerben Kegel Priority: Minor You can not use IPv6 under Windows 7 because nio is not supported. You receive an error: "Address family not supported by protocol family". Yuu can reproduce it by changing the rpc_address to "[::1]" and start Cassandra under Windows 7 A workaround is to disable nio while using IPv6 under Windows 7. (Other windows versions might also be affected.) Example: {code:title=MessagingService.java} ServerSocket socket; if (nioSupported(localEp)) { serverChannel = ServerSocketChannel.open(); socket = serverChannel.socket(); } else { socket = new ServerSocket(); } private boolean nioSupported(InetAddress localEp) { String os = System.getProperty("os.name"); return !(localEp instanceof Inet6Address && os.equals("Windows 7")); } {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
