Windows - Kafka Start Server not starting

Question

I everyone, first time using Kafka (& Zookeeper) and so i followed some tutorials that lead to me to a problem. I'm able to run Zookeper but when I try to run Kafka using .\kafka-server-start.bat C:\kafka\config\server.properties i get the following output on the image.

Kafka output

Any idea on what it could be? I have JDK installed and working:

PS C:\kafka\bin\windows> java -version
java version "1.8.0_241"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_241-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.241-b07, mixed mode)

Zookeeper with variables set and done but Kafka keeps on not starting.

Zookeeper output

My Zookeeper conf file is as follows:

# The number of milliseconds of each tick
tickTime=2000
# The number of ticks that the initial 
# synchronization phase can take
initLimit=10
# The number of ticks that can pass between 
# sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
syncLimit=5
# the directory where the snapshot is stored.
# do not use /tmp for storage, /tmp here is just 
# example sakes.
dataDir=./logs
# the port at which the clients will connect
clientPort=2181
# the maximum number of client connections.
# increase this if you need to handle more clients
maxClientCnxns=60

Didn't change a thing on the Server.properties file.

Did you modify kafka-server-start.bat? – JavaTechnical Mar 14 '20 at 05:52 — JavaTechnical, Mar 14 '20 at 05:52

Did you set the environment variables corretly?

JAVA_HOME = C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_201 (or your jdk version)

PATH += %JAVA_HOME%\bin

Yes, I have both my JAVA_HOME and PATH set with the path for my JDK folder – Afonso Guimarães Mar 13 '20 at 15:35
Try running `.\kafka-server-start.bat ..\..\config\server.properties`, also can you share what you have on `zookeeper.properties` and `server.properties`? – ywbaek Mar 13 '20 at 15:59
I updated my question with the contents of the Zookeeper terminal output and the Conf file. – Afonso Guimarães Mar 13 '20 at 16:08
Can we see the content of kafka-server-start.bat ? – Yannick Mar 13 '20 at 23:05
@Yannick it's on Github – OneCricketeer Mar 14 '20 at 16:09
