Unable to start kairosdb on windows 7

Question

I am new to Cassandra and Kairos. I am unable to start kairosdb on my windows system. Steps I followed: I installed Cassandra and from cqlsh window I added a keyspace kairosdb (source: http://prasannasjain.blogspot.in/2014/05/time-series-database-kairos-db-with.html) Then I installed kairosdb from https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb/releases and pointed the database to Cassandra in kairosdb.properties file

Issue:
I tried starting kairosdb using commands "kairosdb.sh start" from command line and "./kairosdb.sh start" from Git Bash. The error I am getting is 
./kairosdb.sh: line 49: /var/run/kairosdb.pid: No such file or directory

Please suggest what is wrong here

Answer 1

Run it under root, like this:

sudo kairosdb.sh start

Answer 2

You can use this command in the command prompt window:

kairosdb.bat run
