All,

I hope this is a correct email for my question. I never used Accumulo, only
it'd predecessor Cloudbase and I am experienced with hadoop and hbase and
from a developer' perspective. I am not a sysAdmin, but I have installed
all Hadoop and HBase on VM's  before. I am now trying to install Accumulo
on my VM.

I have installed CDH3 and ZooKeeper on a CENTOS 6.3. VM (4G memory). Hadoop
and ZooKeeper appear to run fine. I installed accumulo-1.4.2 and believe I
configured it correctly. I used the accumulo-env.sh in the
conf/examples/1GB/native-standalone as my template.

When I start accumulo using the start-all.sh script I dpo not get any
errors, however I does not return to a command prompt. I also get an error
stating my log4j is not initialized correctly I know that comes when there
is no log4j.proerties or xml file.

When I try to execute accumulo shell I get the following:

[root@localhost bin]# ./accumulo shell
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(org.apache.accumulo.start.classloader.AccumuloClassLoader).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for
more info.

I have attached some config files. I'm not sure why accumulo-site.xml and
accumulo-env.sh won;t attach, si I copied them here.I looked through the
log files, but didn't see anything other than listed error.

And when you copy the examples, you should copy all the files, not just a
few. We have the log4j setups in those directories as well.

Sent from my phone, please pardon the typos and brevity.
