Cannot locate file:tmp/cassandra.yaml? - windows

Question

While running the Usergrid server which makes use of cassandra in Windows, I'm coming across the following error and while it works fine in linux. Its a maven project and all dependencies are downloaded automatically. But this error is preventing the server from starting. Any solutions?
This is the Super POM of the project.

Answer 1

Ok so (correct me if I'm wrong) I see that you don't bundle the app on the (dev or Continuous Integration) machine, then deploy it to your servers.
Instead, the server downloads all the files it needs.
So I would advise 3 things :
1) Find where, on the linux server, is located the cassandra.yaml file. tmp/cassandra.yaml might be a relative path, but relative to what ? When you locate it, you can trace how you got it, (from a jar ?), and we can advise.
2) I assume you had to install maven on both servers (windows and linux) as maven downloads the dependencies on each server.
Maybe something is different, or went wrong.
For instance, you could have a different maven setup (repositories), even if your pom seems to be self sufficient about repositories.
Or something could have been wrong the first time you downloaded a dependency. You can go in the windows server .m2 folder, and see if something is wrong with the cassandra dependencies (sometimes, you have to delete a broken "dependency", if it could not be downloaded the first time you tried).
3) I see some dependencies are accessed via https. You can try to see if this is not a problem, from your windows server.
