Unable to start zookeeper and kafka service

Ops

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.
I only changed the following values in my zookeeper.properties file
advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9092, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of my VM.

log.retention.hours=2190
log.segment.bytes=545728
log.retention.check.interval.ms=150000

Herewith the error I get when starting zookeeper
