The error indicates that you have a misconfiguration in the cassandra.yaml.

It looks like you've added the seeds incorrectly. In YAML files, indentation is important because it is how "nesting" is implied.

The correct format for configuring seeds is:

seed_provider:
    - class_name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider
      parameters:
          - seeds: "ip1,ip2,..."

Fix your configuration then try to restart again. Cheers!

[UPDATE] Welcome to Stack Overflow! A friendly reminder that Stack Overflow is for getting help with coding, algorithm, or programming language problems. For future reference, you should post DB admin/ops questions on DBA Stack Exchange (part of the Stack Overflow network of sites but dedicated to DBAs instead of developers). Cheers!
