Thank you guys for all of your immediate help! My machines are currently down for other reasons so I'll be able to try things again, send out the errors I'm getting and such in a day or so (hopefully!)
thanks again! -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Hunt [mailto:ph...@apache.org] Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 1:55 PM To: zookeeper-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Re: Cluster Configuration Issues You might try my ZooKeeper configuration generator if you have python handy: http://bit.ly/mBEcF The main issue that I see with your config is that each config file needs to contain a list of all the servers in the ensemble: ... syncLimit=2 server.1=host1... server.2=host2... server.3=host3... server.4=host4... where the "myid" file in the data dir for each hostX corresponds to it's server id (so myid=1 on host1, myid=2 on host2, etc...)
