My changes
log4j-server.properties file
------------------------------------
log4j.appender.R.File=c:/var/log/cassandra/system.log
cassandra.yaml file
----------------------------
# directories where Cassandra should store data on disk.
data_file_directories:
- c:/var/lib/cassandra/data
# commit log
commitlog_directory: c:/var/lib/cassandra/commitlog
# saved caches
saved_caches_directory: c:/var/lib/cassandra/saved_caches*
*
I also added an environment variable for windows called CASSANDRA_HOME*
*
*
*
I needed to do this for one of my colleagues and now it's documented ;)*
