Hi Kathy,

Regarding regulartesting, it looks like you tried to start it as a non root user. Can you try again with "sudo /etc/init.d/perfsonar-regulartesting start" or run the command as the root user?

A few ideas on the cassandra issue:
1 - kind of a long shot given the re-install note, but is the partition cassandra is on full by chance?
2 - can you verify the permissions on the things it is complaining about? Does /var/run/cassandra exist and is writeable by cassandra user and group?

I re-installed perfsonar 3.5.1 toolkit and am having trouble restarting regulartesting.  It doesn't start on boot, nor can I restart it manually.

Nothing's been logged in regulartesting.log since 4-Nov.
