cannot connect to local Cassandra instance?

Question

I am a Cassandra newbie so this is a very rudimentary question. For my project I need an older version of Cassandra, so I installed it like so:

brew install python
brew install homebrew/versions/cassandra22
pip install cql

After that, I simply started it via Homebrew too, like so:

brew services start homebrew/versions/cassandra22

I can see it in the list of services having been started:

tracyxia$ brew services list
Name        Status  User     Plist
cassandra22 started tracyxia  /Users/tracyxia/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra22.plist

Furthermore, I can also see it running as a service on my Mac:

tracyxia$ ps -ef | grep cassandra
1425523232  9962 87919   0  4:33PM ttys000    0:00.00 grep cassandra

But when I try to connect to my local instance of Cassandra via DevCenter, I kept getting the "cannot connect to host" error. :( I am pretty sure this is an installation issue because it works perfectly fine when I installed Cassandra 3.0.7 (current default version for Homebrew cassandra).

Any help would be most appreciated!

configure listen_address and rpc_address as below in cassandra.yaml

listen_address : 192.168.1.15 (configure local IP)

rpc_address : 0.0.0.0
