I am trying to install Multi-Broker System in windows in a single node. I have successfully installed Single-Broker Kafka System in windows and started the Broker and Zookeeper.

Now i want to install Multi-Broker System in a single node and facing errors in windows.

This is for testing purposes only.

I will describe how I go about installing a Multi-Broker Kafka System.

In the kafka installation folder I have copied 2 copies of server.properties file and renamed to server- 1.properties and server-2.properties inside config directory.

I have edited server-1 properties file as 

broker.id=1
listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9093
log.dir =/temp/kafka-logs-1

Similarly I have edited server-2 properties file as

broker.id=2
listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9094
log.dir =/temp/kafka-logs-2

I succesfully started zookeeper and broker 1 as done previously for single broker kafka cluster.

The command I used for starting the first broker is \bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat .\config\server.properties

Now i want to start 2nd Broker.

I used the following command .\bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat .\config\server-1.properties

But i get error as below

java.io.FileNotFoundException: .\config\server-2.properties <The system 
cannot find the file specified>

I have followed this Stackoverflow question for Single-Broker Kafka Setup. Is there an easy way to install Kafka on Windows? install-kafka-on-windows

Kindly guide me why I am getting the above error? Can we set up Multi-Broker Kafka System in a single node in windows?

There's nothing special about installing Kafka on Windows. The only reason this error would occur is if the file in fact doesn't exist in the location specified.

Also, You copied 2 files server-1.properties and server-2.properties but you ran the command with server.properties. Can you please verify if you have correctly created the copies of the properties file?
