Thanks Konstantin. I checked the services, but it doesn't show up for some reason. Even trying to connect locally or remotely using a CLI client, returned Exception connecting to xx.xx.xx.xx/9160. Reason: Connection refused. But I tried sudo cassandra start and it worked like a charm. I am surprised why omitting the 'service' did the job. It is development server, but I am little concerned about the production server.
