I encountered the same error when I upgraded Elasticsearch from 8.13.4 to 8.14.0.  
Upon checking `/var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log`, I found message `Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir`.  
I resolved it by using the command `setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir`.

Had the same myself. I had to run the same command for mysql, and also for redis where that was installed on the server also.

</div>

Same here, in my case there were additional directories I was getting AccessDeniedException errors, so I had to do:

```auto
setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir
setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/redis
setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/redis/modules
setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib/Acronis/AgentCommData

```

Ah, apologies you're encountering problems upgrading Elasticsearch. Could you post the full stack trace for the `AccessDeniedException` in the log so we can look closer at what's going on here?

The team is working on a fix for it for 8.14.1. I don't have any release date yet.  
Note that this problem does not appear when running on Docker or on [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co).

In my case it was a cPanel server (v120.0.9) running AlmaLinux (v8.10).  
Are you guys also running similar environments?

We have created a [knowledge base article](https://support.elastic.co/knowledge/5979309d) for customers and updated the [release notes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/release-notes-8.14.0.html#known-issues-8.14.0) with some workarounds you can use until we release 8.14.1 to fix this issue.

Thanks for reporting it, and it'll be fixed in 8.14.1.

Yeah, I'm afraid that's internal / customers only. But the relevant info is: [Add systemd native access by rjernst · Pull Request #106151 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/106151) is getting backported to 8.14.1 and will then get a fast release. So hold tight.  
In the meantime, [Elasticsearch version 8.14.0 | Elasticsearch Guide [8.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/release-notes-8.14.0.html#known-issues-8.14.0) has a workaround.

And sorry for the trouble!

In my case I did not get any permission errors (at least in the log) so I don't know where to change any permissions. But I found out, that the problem only occurs if I try to run elastic in daemon mode. Starting elastic on console works without any problems. So my workaround is to start the process within a screen session as long as the bugfix release is available.

```bash
root@abc:~# cd /usr/share/elasticsearch/
root@abc:/usr/share/elasticsearch# screen -S elastic
root@abc:/usr/share/elasticsearch# sudo -u elasticsearch bin/elasticsearch

```

After that, detach session with `CTRL+a d`.

@xeraa shouldn't the 8.14.0 rpm/deb/tar.gz packages be removed from download then?

Unfortunately a lot of people do not even look at release notes before upgrading and this breaks the upgrade.

It looks like `findLibSystemd()` walks through all directories passed by `java.library.path` when starting elasticsearch, e.g. `/usr/lib` which has a lot of files (Debian 12)...  
I had a lot of ` __pycache__ ` folders in there which I just deleted with `find /usr/lib | grep -E "/ __pycache__ $" | xargs rm -rf`.  
To find other files/directories without world read permissions:

- List them: `find /usr/lib ! -perm -o+r`
- Set the permissions: `find /usr/lib -type d ! -perm -o+r -exec chmod o+rx {} \; && find /usr/lib -type f ! -perm -o+r -exec chmod o+r {} \;`

Since there is a straight forward workaround, I don't think there are any immediate plans to pull the download. Though the "current" one will soon change.
