I believe this is #949: bad configuration format.

[jeevaengg21]

yup, u are correct i revert back the configuration its working now. @Kong It would be more useful if the error information are more precise because i was looking in the wrong part of configuration.

[thibaultcha]

Yes, it will be the case, as @ajayk was nice enough to provide a patch for this in #949.

This error " did not find expected at document: 1, line: 166, column: 1". I'm also facing in starting kong.
@jeevaengg21 did not really indicate how he resolved this. Or may be you can paste on this blog correct cassandra setting in kong.yml. i'm using redhat server with a public ip.

Please i need your help to resolve this, my client is on me. Thank you.

@olufemi please see #949 probably you have a formatting error in your yml config file. Please check carefully the indentations etc.

[jeevaengg21]

@olufemi if your running the cassandra in the same machine, do not make any change in kong.yml. so revert all the changes you have done and try again.

[olufemi]

Thanks so much @jeevaengg21 , i'm running cassandra on the same machine. As you asked me to do i have restored kong.yum to its defualt. But when i ran "kong start", i got the following response:

[olufemi@localhost ~]$ kong start
[INFO] Kong 0.7.0
[INFO] Using configuration: /etc/kong/kong.yml
[INFO] Setting working directory to /usr/local/kong
[INFO] database...........cassandra keyspace=kong ssl=verify=false enabled=false replication_factor=1 contact_points=127.0.0.1:9042 replication_strategy=SimpleStrategy timeout=5000 data_centers=
[INFO] Leaving cluster..
[ERR] Cassandra error: [Invalid] unconfigured table schema_keyspaces
[ERR] Could not start Kong

Please assist me, what can i do to it, and my cassandra is running.
Also how can i know the status of cassandra from command terminal?

Thank you. Please any body should help.

@olufemi don't you run Kong against Cassandra 3.x? It is not supported, see #831.

How can I downgrade cassandra version from 3.5
