Take the 2-minute tour ×  I installed cassandra on a VM running
Ubuntu Server 10.10.  cassandra login failure with
org.apache.cassandra.auth.AllowAllAuthenticator but I always
receive the following error message:  Login failure. Did you
specify 'keyspace', 'username' and 'password'? share|improve
this question add comment  1 Answer  It turns out that when you
specify an open port that doesn't immediately refuse your
connection you will get this error. My cassandra instance was
actually running on port 9160, not the 8080 that I was trying.
