Connection refused to localhost at Cassandra 0.8.0

[ssich]

My Cassandra used to work with no problems.

I was able to connect with no problems but now for some reason it
doesn't work anymore.

[default@unknown] connect localhost/9160; Exception connecting to
localhost/9160. Reason: Connection refused.

I am in Ubuntu server

Thanks in-advance

Is cassandra running?  Does it show up in

$ ps -ef | grep cassandra

Also, in the future the cassandra-user list might get you better answers for general cassandra questions.

that means cassandra is not running.

But when I run the cassandra -cli

root@gestion:~# cassandra-cli
Welcome to cassandra CLI.
Type 'help;' or '?' for help. Type 'quit;' or 'exit;' to quit.
[root@gestion] connect localhost/9160;

Thanks Sasha and any comments.

There is a wonderful file in the cassandra distribution called README.txt.

Getting started
---------------

This short guide will walk you through getting a basic one node cluster up
and running, and demonstrate some simple reads and writes.

* tar -zxvf apache-cassandra-$VERSION.tar.gz
* cd apache-cassandra-$VERSION
* sudo mkdir -p /var/log/cassandra
* sudo chown -R `whoami` /var/log/cassandra
* sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/cassandra
* sudo chown -R `whoami` /var/lib/cassandra

Note: The sample configuration files in conf/ determine the file-system
locations Cassandra uses for logging and data storage. You are free to
change these to suit your own environment and adjust the path names
used here accordingly.

Now that we're ready, let's start it up!

* bin/cassandra -f

Running the startup script with the -f argument will cause Cassandra to
remain in the foreground and log to standard out.

Now let's try to read and write some data using the command line client.

* bin/cassandra-cli --host localhost

The command line client is interactive so if everything worked you should
be sitting in front of a prompt...

Connected to: "Test Cluster" on localhost/9160

As the banner says, you can use 'help;' or '?' to see what the CLI has to
offer, and 'quit;' or 'exit;' when you've had enough fun.
