I am unable to start zookeeper in my local
getting exception
Error: Could not find or load main class software\kafka_2.12-2.3.0\libs\activation-1.1.1.jar;
I have got the same error.
Finally I found the reason.
I put kafka in a folder which it's name contains space like this
C:\Open source\kafka\kafka_2.12-2.3.0
Then I copied all kafka_2.12-2.3.0 to a new folder without space in name, such asc C:\kafka_2.12-2.3.0
and kafka can run
NOte that the command line is: zookeeper-server-start.bat ../../config/zookeeper.properties
NOT: zookeeper-server-start.bat config/zookeeper.properties
Here's my result
I'm getting below error while starting the Kafka-Server on Windows machine. I've downloaded Scala 2.11 - kafka_2.11-2.1.0.tgz from the link: https://kafka.apache.org/downloads and I did the following steps:
Go to config folder in Apache Kafka (C:\Apache-Kafka\kafka_2.11-2.1.0\config) and edit “server.properties” using any text editor.
Find log.dirs and repelace after “=/tmp/kafka-logs” to C:\Apache-Kafka\kafka_2.11-2.1.0\kafka-logs.
Now simply start the server:

Try this after kafka-server-start.bat

In general we must not use C: drive to store kafka-logs. You can try using the drive other than the C: for storing Kafka logs. It must work.
Change the property log.dirs={Drive other than C:}/tmp/kafka-logs present in KafkaHome/config/server.properties.
I am working through the SSL example which means starting the locator using the properties files instead of default. So it's
start locator --name=IsLocator --properties-file=..\config\gemfire.properties --security-properties-file=..\config\gfsecurity.properties
Then whether the SSL is set in the properties files or not, this causes the locator process to terminate with an error
The Locator process terminated unexpectedly with exit status 1. Please refer to the log file in D:\Geode\bin\IsLocator for full details.

The same error happens if GFSH is started as an administrator.
This problem resolves if you remove the deploy-working-dir property.
I am trying to tun the latest version of Kafka (kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0) on windows. I did change the log and tmp directories in all the config files and when I try to start the zookeeper server and getting the below error:

C:kafka-runtime is the directory that I have created C:\kafka-runtime, here I can see that "\" is being removed.
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
The following error occured on entering the above command:

Is it that I need to setup zookeeper separately? How could I resolve this?
For Windows:
Go to kafka_2.11-2.0.0\bin\windows folder
Then run zookeeper-server-start.bat ../../config/zookeeper.properties
This is basically because of this
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: config/zookeeper.properties file is missing
it would be really useful if you could share what exactly have you done so far. Also check if the same file exists at the said location and you are running the command from the correct location .. it is supposed to be run from your $KAFKA_HOME folder (where you've extracted the tar file)
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.
Enter the command---> cd /usr/local/Cellar/kafka/2.3.0
Enter the command ---->cd libex
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

I saw when you run the above command it doesn't take config file. So if you Put complete path like c:\Kafka\config\zookeeper.properties... this works.
I faced the exact same error, and after a while I realized that the reason for the error was, I wasn't able to find the zookeeper.properties file, and that was because the path wasn't correct, I installed kafka through brew so the config folder was created inside libexec, so find where the config directory is and check for zookeeper.properties inside it and give that path.
Had the same issue.
I was following this guide and step 2 mentions to run this command:
bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
I had 2 problems, that first was that I wasn't inside the root directory of the file you untar and the second was that I didn't copy the complete command. Make sure both of them are correct and try again.
Just make sure that whether /config folder exist or not.
Try to type properties directly. e.g. zookeeper-server-start zookeeper.properties
I installed it with homebrew, it works.
This happens because bin/windows is added to the path but kafka/config is not.
Just navigate to your kafka folder and then try to run.
I am adding screenshot if it can help.
Before
After
You can use Powershell as an alternative to CMD.
Consider myKafka is your kafka home directory, Extract your kafka tar file here.
Extracted folder(KafkaDir) will be having ./bin,/config, etc. internal folders.
Now, open Powershell prompt, go to myKafka folder.
Run below command:
.\kafkaDir\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat
.\kafkaDir\config\zookeeper.properties
Zookeeper will get start.
You need to fix the absolute path to:
$KAFKA_HOME/config/zookeeper.properties
For me I used:
$KAFKA_HOME = /usr/local/kafka
In \bin\windows\kafka-run-class.bat add the file content
rem Classpath addition for release
for %%i in ("%BASE_DIR%\libs\*") do (
call :concat "%%i"
)
// Section to Add
rem Classpath addition for LSB style path
if exist %BASE_DIR%\share\java\kafka\* (
call :concat %BASE_DIR%\share\java\kafka\*
)
**
// Above Section to Add
rem Classpath addition for core
for %%i in ("%BASE_DIR%\core\build\libs\kafka_%SCALA_BINARY_VERSION%*.jar") do (
call :concat "%%i"
Have to run in from Kafka home directory, but you are running from the bin.
