Ubuntu 14.04 Cassandra fails to start but has no error?

Can anyone help me debug this?

root@xxx:~# service cassandra start root@xxx:~# service cassandra status * Cassandra is not running

I looked in the /var/log/cassandra/system.log file but there is nothing.

I can't figure out why this service doesn't start. :(

I got it working by upgrading to Java 8. https://askubuntu.com/questions/508546/howto-upgrade-java-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts

You're running cassandra as root. That could be the problem: Starting cassandra as a service does not work for 2.0.5, sudo cassandra -f works

If you want to start cassandra as root you can use the -R option. If nothing will work, you can start cassandra with /etc/YOURCASSANDRAPATH/bin/cassandra -R
