Error starting kafka server in Windows 10

I am facing issue when starting Kafka server in my local machine (Windows 10) using command bin\windows\kafka-server-start \config\server.properties. I am getting error below. I already have zookeeper server running.

I'm currently using kafka 2.12-2.1.1 version. For me it worked when I initialize the kafka server with the following input:

kafka-server-start.bat \Tools\kafka_2.12-2.1.1\config\server.properties

Obs: Command source from the kafka_2.12-2.1.1\bin\windows Obs2: I created the Tools folder inside C: to put the kafka and zookeeper files inside.

Running kafka-server-start.bat from within:
C:\Apache\kafka_2.12–2.3.1\bin\windows>

and using a relative path like this:

kafka-server-start.bat ../../config/server.properties

worked for me, for both kafka_2.12–2.3.1 and kafka-2.4.0.

It is not able to find the server.properties file in the same folder. Provide the absolute path as below and it runs successfully.

kafka-server-start.bat C:\DEVTools\kafka_2.12-2.3.1\config\server.properties

For those who have added kafka binary's path to window's environment PATH variable and still stuck : Passing relative path of server.properties (like ..\..\config\server.properties) with respect to binary location (as added in PATH) will not work. You will have to pass absolute path for server.properties file.

If you are running kafka-server-start from kafka home directory, remove "\" before config. It should do the magic.

bin\windows\kafka-server-start config\server.properties

Thanks, Naveen
