Cassandra not starting even after restart of services and server, getting error: # ./cassandra-nodetool.sh status nodetool: Failed to connect to ‘127.0.0.1:7199’ - ConnectException: ‘Connection refused (Connection refused)’ . Need to know if someone faced a similar issue and had a resolution ?

Hi

I had the same issue and found the solution.

Edit \<cassandra\_home\>/conf/cassandra-env.sh

Before editing:  
# jmx: metrics and administration interface  
#  
# add this if you’re having trouble connecting:  
# JVM\_OPTS=”$JVM\_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=”

After Editing:  
JVM\_OPTS=”$JVM\_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=yourhostname″

Regards

Alex
