Latest zookeeper is installed on an Ubuntu server box. Java is 1.7 latest build. whereis points to java just fine. /etc/zookeeper is empty.
boot zookeeper from /bin as sudo ./zkServer.sh start Console says "Started" /etc/zookeeper now has a .pid file In another console, ./zkServer.sh status returns: "It's probably not running" An interesting fact: the log4j.properties file says there should be a zookeeper.log file in "."; there is no log file. When I do a text search in the zookeeper source code for where it picks up the log4j.properties, nothing is found. Fascinating, what? This must be a common beginner's question, not well covered in web-search for my context. Does it ring any bells? Many thanks. Jack
