Cannot start/run ElasticSearch on OS X

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I've been programming for a few years and now I'd like to learn some Java. I thought a good way to do it would be by contributing to ElasticSearch. Keep in mind that I'm a complete noob with everything Java right now.

I've cloned ElasticSearch and I'm trying to run it with Gradle. I was able to assemble it, but when I try to run it, I get the following Exception:

Execution failed for task ':distribution:run#wait'.
...
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Failed to start elasticsearch

Please see the output for the task that generated the error here: Task error debug output (the full output is almost 50000 lines and I don't know how to share it here).

Gradle version:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 4.1

Groovy:       2.4.11
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.6 compiled on June 29 2015
JVM:          1.8.0_144 (Oracle Corporation 25.144-b01)
OS:           Mac OS X 10.12.6 x86_64

Looking forward to any help! I couldn't find any relevant results on Google.

You don't need to post 50000 lines, just the last lines that look like

Hi Jörg,

Thank you for the quick reply! You saved my ass.

I looked more carefully at the area which you said should be relevant for this and, lo and behold, I found that the initial Exception was thrown there (I was confused by the run#wait below). The Exception in cause was a BindHttpException and it was thrown due to the fact that the 9200 and 9300 ports were already used by a Docker container running elasticsearch, which I had forgotten to stop.

It's up and running now and it appears to be working well.
