Hi, There is a problem with starting the cassandra from the Entrypoint at the docker file. BUT it totally works fine when I run the script (run_scripts.sh) inside the instance (ssh root@10.11.12.2).
The following line is used in the docker file to call the run script at Entrypoint ENTRYPOINT /usr/local/bin/run_scripts.sh | /usr/sbin/sshd -D run_scripts.sh has the following lines of code to execute #!/bin/bash source /root/.bashrc /usr/local/bin/metadata_svc_bugfix.sh /etc/init.d/apache2 start > /tmp/apache_start.log /root/bin/init.sh > /tmp/init.log & opt/cassandra/bin/start.sh > /tmp/cassandra_start.log & from the run script I am calling the start.sh to start the cassandra, run_script contains the following #setting up the env variables export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java export CASSANDRA_HOME=/opt/cassandra export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cassandra/bin:/opt/java/bin export CASSANDRA_CONF=/opt/cassandra/conf export CLASSPATH=/opt/cassandra/lib/*.jar echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" >> /etc/hosts /opt/cassandra/bin/cassandra The cassandra didn't start at the Entrypoint, then I logged the error into a file using the following line /opt/cassandra/bin/cassandra >> /tmp/cassandra_start.log 2>&1 Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.net.MalformedURLException: Local host name unknown: java.net.UnknownHostException: instance-00000001: instance-00000001 Then found the fix from the following discussion http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7496640/problem-on-starting-cassandra and modified the script replacing echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" >> /etc/hosts with echo "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost instance-00000001" >> /etc/hosts But unfortunately I am not able to append the 'hosts' file in etc because it is a read only file. Why is it that it is able to start cassandra inside the instance using the same script but not from calling the script at entrypoint? Herewith I have attached all the Dockerfile, Run_scripts.sh and Start.sh.
