[jira] Created: (ZOOKEEPER-556) Startup messages should account for common error of missing leading slash in config files

Startup messages should account for common error of missing leading slash in config files
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-556
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-556
             Project: Zookeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ted Dunning


It would be nice if the startup noticed directories without a leading slash in the config file.  That is worth a warning.

Moreover, if that directory exists looking from root, but not looking from the current directory, a very serious warning is in order.

---------------------------------------

In the following exchange, a new Zookeeper user lost several days wrestling with this issue.  Henry spotted the problem.  I didn't.  Patrick didn't.

With a prominent error message, the user would have found this in 5 minutes.

yeah - thought this was it: you've missed the forward slash on
home/mark/zookeeper (this turned up on your exception message).
