Magnus Edenhill created KAFKA-3743: -------------------------------------- Summary: kafka-server-start.sh: Unhelpful error message Key: KAFKA-3743 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3743 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: tools Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0 Reporter: Magnus Edenhill Priority: Minor
When trying to start Kafka from an uncompiled source tarball rather than the binary the kafka-server-start.sh command gives a mystical error message: ``` $ bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties Error: Could not find or load main class config.server.properties ``` This could probably be improved to say something closer to the truth. This is on 0.10.0.0-rc6 tarball from github. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
