Installing Cassandra

[phpsycho]

I tried installing Cassandra on my Ubuntu server a few weeks ago and any tutorial I find doesn't work. Most all tutorials were made a year or more ago.

I read the instructions that came with Cassandra and follow the steps but still won't work.

 

I got Cassandra on my server now, but I can't run it without Thrift. I installed Thrift, but when I try to start Cassandra the loading process stops at loading Thrift.

Any ideas to get Cassandra installed and running correctly on Ubuntu Natty?

 

Thanks
