If you installed from the Debian package you probably have a known permission problem, and you should see it recorded in /var/log/cassandra/output.log when starting from the init script. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3198 The fix is to: chown -R cassandra: /var/lib/cassandra chown -R cassandra: /var/log/cassandra Cheers! Shyamal
