desciption

I use rpm installed elasticsearch-1.7.3, It work, then I use rpm uninstall it. Because I want to install 5.xx.
So I use the same way to install elasticsearch-5.4.3, But when I restart elasticsearch, It don't work.

elasticsearch.yml

You can not upgrade from 1.x to 5.x, we offer zero backwards compatibility guarantees here. We only support upgrading from major version N to major version N + 1.

[aruna09]

I am not able to start elasticsearch. The same error curl(7) failed to localhost.
I did try the solution mentioned above but to no avail!
Help ASAP!

[sukhmel]

@ArunaMaurya221B this description is not nearly sufficient. Is there something in logs? What version do you run, on which OS, do you use systemctl, if so then what does systemctl status elasticsearch.service show?

[WomBoss]

elasticsearch.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
elasticsearch.service: Unit entered failed state.

Somebody have more details about this ?

I have the same Problem, complete details from elasticsearch.log after starting service:

Hello, you can see best details on journalctl, for me it was just jvm memory adjustment.

I am new to elasticsearch and facing the below issue:

I increase the heap size even though the same situation.
################################################################

You should always set the min and max JVM heap

size to the same value. For example, to set

the heap to 4 GB, set:

-Xms8g
-Xmx8g

See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/heap-size.html

for more information

################################################################
I also changed the data and log location. I have a mounted volume which I want to use for the data and log.

----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------

Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):

path.data: /u001/elastic/data/elasticsearch

Path to log files:

path.logs: /u001/elastic/log/elasticsearch

[dadoonet]

@bqayyum better chance to ask on discuss.elastic.co where we can give a better help.

[simonjcarr]

for me I got the status of the service sudo service elasticsearch status this gave me the amongst other things the command that was run to start elasticsearch. I just ran that command manually at the command line and it gave me the full set of error messages as to why it could not start. In my case I had put the my mysql.jar file in the modules folder and elasticsearch didn't like that.
