Hi Mike,

Do you already have an instance of cassandra running? I have seen similar cases where you "start" cassandra on a machine where it's still running, particularly where the pidfile gets out of sync and so the init scripts think things are okay.

You may want to look at something like `ps aux | grep cassandra` and kill any existing processes that may be running, that start again via the init script.
