Hi there, I am beginner user to elasticsearch. I have set network.host: 0.0.0.0 (also try to my local IP), http.port: 9200, and give executive authority to my new account.

I want to use elasticsearch on my server, but I have some issue. my error log is that ``` > at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:90) ~[elasticsearch-cli-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] ``` > ``` > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:116) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:93) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > > ``` > > **Caused by: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException: failed to bind service** > at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:626) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:265) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap$5.(Bootstrap.java:212) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.setup(Bootstrap.java:212) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:333) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.init(Elasticsearch.java:159) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > ... 6 more > **Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /etc/system-release** > at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:84) ~[?:?] > at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:102) ~[?:?] > at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:107) ~[?:?] > at sun.nio.fs.UnixFileSystemProvider.newByteChannel(UnixFileSystemProvider.java:214) ~[?:?] > at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:361) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:407) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider.newInputStream(FileSystemProvider.java:384) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at java.nio.file.Files.newInputStream(Files.java:152) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at java.nio.file.Files.newBufferedReader(Files.java:2784) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at java.nio.file.Files.readAllLines(Files.java:3202) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at java.nio.file.Files.readAllLines(Files.java:3242) ~[?:1.8.0\_131] > at org.elasticsearch.monitor.os.OsProbe.readOsRelease(OsProbe.java:591) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.monitor.os.OsProbe.getPrettyName(OsProbe.java:546) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.monitor.os.OsProbe.osInfo(OsProbe.java:533) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.monitor.os.OsService.(OsService.java:48) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.monitor.MonitorService.(MonitorService.java:47) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:397) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:265) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap$5.(Bootstrap.java:212) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.setup(Bootstrap.java:212) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:333) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.init(Elasticsearch.java:159) ~[elasticsearch-6.6.2.jar:6.6.2] > ... 6 more I really don't know what's causing the problem.

Hey, is it possible that you are referring to a file in your `elasticsearch.yml` configuration that points outside the directory where the config file resides in? Can you share your configuration file and its path? How did you install elasticsearch? Tar/gz archive or debian package or rpm or one of the repositories? Thanks for providing all the information, that should help us narrowing the issue down. --Alex ---
