Alternate solution to Kat. Worked with Ubuntu 16.04

1. ssh into server server_user@**.**.**.**

2. Stop cassandra if running:

   • Check if running with ps aux | grep cassandra

   • If running, will output a large block of commands / flags, e.g.

     ubuntu 14018 4.6 70.1 2335692 712080 pts/2 Sl+ 04:15 0:11 java -Xloggc:./../logs/gc.log ........

     Note 14018 in the example is the process id

   • Stop with kill (in this case 14018)

3. edit cassandra.yaml file to be the following

   • rpc_address: 0.0.0.0
   • broadcast_rpc_address: **.**.**.** <- your server's IP (cannot be set to 0.0.0.0)
4. Restart cassandra ./bin/cassandra -f (from within cassandra root)
5. Open another terminal on local machine & connect via cqlsh **.**.**.** (your server's IP) to test.

The ./bin/nodetool status address reported my localhost IP (127.0.0.1), but cqlsh remotely still worked despite that.
