Can't connect to localhost:9200

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I hope someone could point out a solution for my problem, I am at my wit's end.

I am running a VPS (CentOS 7.5, WHM) with elasticsearch.noarch installed from the repo (6.5.1-1) and the latest ingest-attachment-plugin.

The elasticsearch service is up an running:

  $ sudo systemctl status elasticsearch.service
    ● elasticsearch.service - LSB: This service manages the elasticsearch daemon
       Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/elasticsearch; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
       Active: active (exited) since Do 2018-11-29 11:46:52 CET; 40min ago
         Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
      Process: 2181 ExecStop=/etc/rc.d/init.d/elasticsearch stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
      Process: 2188 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/elasticsearch start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

    Nov 29 11:46:47 server systemd[1]: Starting LSB: This service manages the elasticsearch daemon...
    Nov 29 11:46:47 server elasticsearch[2188]: sysctl: permission denied on key 'vm.max_map_count'
    Nov 29 11:46:47 server runuser[2199]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session opened for user elasticsearch by (uid=0)
    Nov 29 11:46:52 server runuser[2199]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session closed for user elasticsearch
    Nov 29 11:46:52 server elasticsearch[2188]: Starting elasticsearch: [  OK  ]
    Nov 29 11:46:52 server systemd[1]: Started LSB: This service manages the elasticsearch daemon.

But I can't connect to localhost:

curl http://localhost:9200
curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:9200; connection refused

Therefore the fulltextsearch app in Nextcloud won't work: No alive nodes found.

The relevant settings in elasticsearch.yml:

network.host: 127.0.0.1
network.bind_host: localhost

There are no entries in /var/log/elasticsearch related to that issue.

I guess,This might be helpful
Related question (i guess)

3

There is no /etc/default/elasticsearch
I am not sure but the former /etc/default/elasticsearch was superseded by /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml IMHO

4

what does

sudo netstat -tlpn

Give for output?

Ok, I was able to track down (and solve) the problem.

I started the elasticsearch service with sudo -u elasticsearch /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch and received

        ... 6 more

With this information I was pointed to Node settings must not contain any index level setting and found two index entries in my elasticsearch.yml:

index.number_of_shards: 3
index.number_of_replicas: 2

After commenting out these lines everything seems back to normal.
