Hi,

I have a few questions:

  1. Is the bin/shield/esusers script executable?
  2. Did you verify that the environment variable was set properly before installing Shield? You can check with echo $ES_JAVA_OPTS
  3. Does the user you ran bin/shield/esusers with have write permission on the /etc/elasticsearch directory?

Environment path echo $ES_JAVA_OPTS
-Des.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch

Then , esusers are executable only , when i try to execute i got an error

./esusers

i am running as root user only so problem in permission ...i have an doute that may be environment is correct and no shield folder found in /etc/elasticsearch

It looks like the Shield script is having issues finding the necessary classes. Does the /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/elasticsearch-*.jar file exist?

5

yes .
elasticsearch-1.3.9.jar file available in /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/

Otherwise , can i uninstall completely shield and reinstall it again ..can u give proper remove command and
environment path

Ok, the version of elasticsearch is probably the issue. Shield only works with Elasticsearch 1.4.2+ and I'd recommend moving to Elasticsearch 1.6 with Shield 1.3.

If you must use an older version of Elasticsearch, then Shield 1.1 is compatible with Elasticsearch 1.4.x.

ok , i have an doute ..i am using couchbase elasticsearch plugin 2.0 , wheather this support elastic search 1.4 ?

or

i am using elasticsearch 1.3 with couchbase plugin 2.0 , which version is shield compatibility for this ?

Are you using this plugin https://github.com/couchbaselabs/elasticsearch-transport-couchbase ? If so, then take a look at their readme, it describes the versions of elasticsearch that it is compatible with.

Also, Shield is not compatible with Elasticsearch 1.3.
