Cassandra 4.0.7 - issue - service not starting

[Amit Patel via user]

Hi,

I have installed cassandra-4.0.7-1.noarch  - repo ( 
baseurl=https://redhat.cassandra.apache.org/40x/noboolean/)  on Redhat 7.9.

We have configured the below properties in cassandra.yaml

Basic Parameters configured in  /etc/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml"

cluster_name: 'CDBCluster'
seed_provider:
  - class_name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider
    parameters:
         - seeds: "10.33.1.200"
listen_address: cdb-server01.local
rpc_address: 10.33.1.200
endpoint_snitch: GossipingPropertyFileSnitch


when I start the Cassandra it fails to start.

Below : system.log ( I don’t think it is related yaml issue but something else) 
.

I would appreciate if you please advice what is wrong?  I have tried older 
version also 4.0.6 and 4.0.4 but same error even with default installation 
(config files) same issue.

Thanks & Kind Regards,
