------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> kafka-server-start.sh: Unhelpful error message
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3743
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3743
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Magnus Edenhill
> Priority: Minor
>
> When trying to start Kafka from an uncompiled source tarball rather than the
> binary the kafka-server-start.sh command gives a mystical error message:
> ```
> $ bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties
> Error: Could not find or load main class config.server.properties
> ```
> This could probably be improved to say something closer to the truth.
> This is on 0.10.0.0-rc6 tarball from github.
