On my local computer, I enable dynamic scripting by adding either of these to config/elasticsearch.yml: `script.disable_dynamic: false` or `script.inline: on` `script.indexed: on` and it works. However, on a development server that a colleague gave me, I did the same thing and dynamic scripting still doesn't work (Error is: QueryParsingException[[visualsearch\_cuong] script\_score the script could not be loaded]; nested: ScriptException[dynamic scripting for [groovy] disabled]; ). There're quite many indexes on that server (including my index) and the Elasticsearch version is 1.7.2. I'm pretty new to Elasticsearch. What could be wrong? Thanks ---

I know my question is not very clear because "A lot of things could be wrong", but I honestly don't know what to search. If you need any further information from my server I'll provide. I just want to find out what potentially can cause the problem. Thanks ---

I don't know if you've already resolved the issue, but you need to refer to the manual here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html#enable-dynamic-scripting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html#enable-dynamic-scripting) Basically, you need to enable groovy language for your specific need. Mine was to add: script.engine.groovy.inline.search: off ---

I thought Groovy is used by default as scripting language for Elastic? I tried what you suggested but it didn't help. May be need to put to `on`? ---

Oh, yeah, sorry. Definitely on. I'm losing my mind slowly, trying to solve my own ES issues. 🙂 Does it help with on? ---
