Newbie programmer trying to set up zookeeper

I'm trying to create a zookeeper cluster of 3 servers, but I'm not really sure what I am doing. I have the same config file on every machine. It looks like this:

tickTime=2000
dataDir=/home/scix3/zookeeper/data
clientPort=2181
initLimit=5
syncLimit=2
autopurge.purgeInterval=24
autopurge.snapRetainCount=5
server.1=192.168.2.106:2888:3888
server.2=192.168.2.102:2888:3888
server.3=192.168.2.105:2888:3888

      

        
        
        
      

    

I have a myid file in dataDir and it matches the server number in the zoo.cfg file. I know that zookeeper works on every system because when I command $ bin / zkServer.sh the following is issued:

Starting zookeeper ... already running as process 9548.

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, when I run bin / zkCli.sh on any of the computers, I get the following message.

    scix3@M6:~/zookeeper$ bin/zkCli.sh

In fact, I'm just trying to decipher the displayed message, figure out how to make a single machine master, connect the whole system, and implement it with an Apache attack.

Thanks for any help!
