java - The input line is too long when starting kafka

Question

I'm trying to run Kafka message queue on Windows.

I'm usin this tutorial - https://dzone.com/articles/running-apache-kafka-on-windows-os

When i try to run it with comand - .inwindowskafka-server-start.bat .configserver.properties

and i get an error: The input line is too long. The syntax of the command is incorrect.

kafka location - C:kafka_2.11-1.0.0

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48834927/the-input-line-is-too-long-when-starting-kafka

Answer 1

This is because of the long length of the path because of the folder name 'kafka_2.11-1.0.0'. Just rename the folder to something small, like just 'kafka'.
