Kafka_Ex Connection Issue
I’m trying to get started with kafka_ex and can’t seem to even get it configured correctly. I am using the out of the box config with just the broker changed to localhost:2181 (testing locally). When I run my IEX session, I get this error:
22:49:31.422 [debug] Succesfully connected to broker "localhost":2181
22:49:31.442 [error] Receiving data from broker "localhost":2181 failed with :closed

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hi, silly question, but are you sure your broker is on 2181? As normally it binds to 9092.
The error is what I get when I’ve not started the kafka broker.

Not a silly question at all. I totally made this mistake! Thank you for your reply.
