Zookeeper issue in setting kafka

Question

To install kafka , I downloaded the kafka tar folder. To start the server I tried this command :

bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
<         


        

Answer 1

I too faced the same issue when I installed kafka from Brew on Macbook

This is happening because the zookeeper.properties file is not in config of bin.

Follow these step.

1. Enter the command---> cd /usr/local/Cellar/kafka/2.3.0

2. Enter the command ---->cd libex

3. Now enter the command--->zookeeper-server-start config/zookeeper.properties

You will get the INFO binding to port 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181 (org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory) Message.

Earlier I was getting this error:

$ zookeeper-server-start config/zookeeper.properties [2019-10-02 14:35:20,159] INFO Reading configuration from: config/zookeeper.properties (org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig) [2019-10-02 14:35:20,160] ERROR Invalid config, exiting abnormally (org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain) org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig$ConfigException: Error processing config/zookeeper.properties at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig.parse(QuorumPeerConfig.java:156) at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain.initializeAndRun(QuorumPeerMain.java:104) at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain.main(QuorumPeerMain.java:81) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: config/zookeeper.properties file is missing at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig.parse(QuorumPeerConfig.java:140) ... 2 more Invalid config, exiting abnormally
