But within a second the service stops : The error I see is : When I try to start the zookeeper server manually, I see the below output . I do not have permissions to create /home/zookeeper. Can an alternate path be specified for zookeeper home directory? iptables is disabled, port 2181 is not in use, NTP synch is in place. I tried following the advise from https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/92993/zookeeper-server-keeps-stopping-after-i-restart-wi.html But the logs didn't get generated.
