Dear Kafka Users, I hope this message finds you well.
I am currently experiencing an issue with running the Kafka service on a Windows Server 2025 environment. Despite multiple attempts, the service fails to start, and the Event Viewer logs show the following error message: The Feeder Automation Manager Message Bus service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3 time(s). Additionally, the service wrapper logs indicate: Service ended with an exception: Error: Kafka's Java process did not start Here are the steps I have already taken to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Verified that the Java version installed is compatible with Kafka. 2. Checked the Kafka logs for detailed error messages. 3. Ensured that the Kafka directories and files have the correct permissions. 4. Confirmed that there are no port conflicts. 5. Reviewed the configuration files for any errors or missing parameters. 6. Installed the latest updates and patches for Windows Server 2025. 7. Double-checked the service wrapper configuration. Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions from the community to resolve this problem. Thank you for your assistance. -- Thanks & Regards, Vikas Tarlekar
