Hello,

As the tilte says I can't start elasticsearch with Centos, when I try to launch it with an user it says  
"Java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /home/project/elasticsearch/config.jvm.options"

And when I try with sudo I can't launch it either coz it says I can't run elasticsearch as root

How can I start it then?

Fixed, if any persons have the same problem you need to change de file rights, use  
`chmod`
