Kafka has seperate batch files for windows environment in /bin/windows directory. Use those to run on windows environment like this.

Use kafka-server-start.bat and kafka-server-stop.bat for kafka cluster.

You can find more details. https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/bin/windows

After lot of search this is the way I solved You have to add in User path in Environment Variable:

%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\System32\;SystemRoot%

In User %PATH% Environment variable, and not in system %PATH% Environment variable. this question already replied on this page:

Finally I find someone with with the same issue I had! Zookeeper running, but kafka not doing anything at all except returning to the next line with no log, error, or anything. Dunno if the cause is the same, but the solution for me, oddly enough, was to download and open cygwin, and run the command exactly as you have it, except with flipping all the \s to /s and it worked.

Solution that worked for me:

  1. Create the logs folder and mention it on the sever.properties, it will not create the folder automatically.

  2. go to your cmd and run kafka-server-start.bat D:\<pathofkafka>\config\server.properties

Thanks!
