Checking the status of the service on the OS won't tell you the status of the Cassandra process.

You need to review the Cassandra logs for clues as to why it failed to start and then address that issue. Cheers!

Just to clarify, I wasn't asking for the logs. I was merely giving you pointers on how to troubleshoot the problem. Cheers!
