DataStax DDC Service will not start

cassandra, datastax

Solution

I ran into the same issue myself.

Try the following:

Open the cassandra.yaml file which can be found at C:\INSTALLPATH\apache-cassandra\conf

Open the cassandra.yaml file and press Ctrl + F and look for `#cdc_raw_directory:`

Uncomment the line by removing the "#" symbol and replace the contents with the following: `"C:/INSTALLPATH/data/cdc_raw"`

So your full line should look like: `cdc_raw_directory: "C:/Program Files (x86)/DataStax Community/data/cdc_raw"`

Save the file and your service should start now :)

Problem

I have just installed DataStax Community Edition but when trying to run the following command; ``` C:\> net start DataStax_DDC_Server ``` I get the following response: Thanks
