Zookeeper install not working on windows 10 - apache-kafka

Question

Well I have my JAVA_HOME set correctly. And I am getting this error now.

Here is my config file: zoo.cfg
tickTime=2000
dataDir=c:/projects/zookeeper/zk/
clientPort=2181
initLimit=5
syncLimit=2
server.1=zoo1:2888:3888
server.2=zoo2:2888:3888
server.3=zoo3:2888:3888
I have changed the dataDir repeatedly to C:/tmp to /usr/
and making sure the directories are actually there. I am at a loss. I am running this on windows 10. I have the newest JDK 9 installed and the path is accurate.

Answer 1

Assuming that you've renamed the conf\zoo_sample.cfg file to conf\zoo.cfg and set the dataDir property correctly, which you've done already; use the following command to start the Zookeeper server
C:\zookeeper-3.4.12\bin>.\zkServer.cmd
Not the following
C:\zookeeper-3.4.12\bin>.\zkServer.cmd start

Answer 2

Okay so I figured out my own answer. Everything was installed correctly. But even running from Administrator mode command prompt, zookeeper was not working. I have to actually right click on the zkServer.cmd in the bin folder and say run as Administrator. I have had this issue before with SigWebTablet software. I think its an issue with running Windows10 developer. Others around the office have this issue with Windows. Hopefully this will help someone else.

Answer 3

In my case, running as Administrator didn't work. I needed a way to tell Zookeeper to setup three instances according to the 3 config files. What did work, was to edit the zkServer.cmd file and remove the "%ZOOCFG%"parameter from the line that begins wil call. Now I can run bin\zkServer.cmd conf\zoo.cfg, bin\zkServer.cmd conf\zoo2.cfg, and bin\zkServer.cmd conf\zoo3.cfg in three command prompt windows and get my cluster up and running :)
