title: Unable to start Zookeeper server in Apache Kafka
body: <p>I am in <code>kafka_home/bin/windows</code> (as suggested <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25037263/apache-kafka-error-on-windows-couldnot-find-or-load-main-class-quorumpeermain">here</a>).
  Then I get the same problem as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25421758/zookeeper-issue-in-setting-kafka">here</a>, where it suggests to launch the program from the kafka home.
  I get this error when launching from the windows folder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>INFO Reading configuration from: config/zookeeper.properties (org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig)

  <p>Does anybody know how to solve this?</p>
