Zookeeper error: Cannot open channel to X at election address

Question

I have installed zookeeper in 3 different aws servers. The following is the configuration in all the servers

tickTime=2000
initLimit=10
syncLimit=5
dataDir=/         


        

Answer 1

This is what worked for me

Step 1:
Node 1:
zoo.cfg
server.1= 0.0.0.0::
server.2= ::
.
.
.
server.n= ::

Node 2 :
server.1= ::
server.2= 0.0.0.0::
.
.
.
server.n= ::


Now in location defined by datadir on your zoo.cfg
Node 1:
echo 1 > /id

Node 2:
echo 2 > /id

.
.
.


Node n:
echo n > /id

This one helped me to start zoo keeper successfully but will know more once i start playing with it. Hope this helps.
