Hello Everyone,

I have recently started working on elasticsearch.

I have deployed ES in my server. I need to change the datapath and logs path.

I tried changing them in elasticsearch.yml, given the required permissions for the directories also. when i restart the service its getting failed to start.

Any help is much appreciated.

regards,  
ramz.
