Hi!  
I instal elastic on raspbian.  
After instalation i run it by type:  
`serivce elasticsearch start`

Output from  
`service elasticsearch status`

> ● elasticsearch.service - LSB: Starts elasticsearch  
> Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/elasticsearch; generated; vendor preset: enabled)  
> Active: active (exited) since Sun 2018-04-15 13:52:19 UTC; 2h 3min ago  
> Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

> Process: 1480 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/elasticsearch start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)  
> CGroup: /system.slice/elasticsearch.service

journalctl dont show any errors, i dont have blocked ports.

Also I try set ip address manualy by uncoment and change:  
`network.host: 127.0.0.1`  
But after restart anything was change.  
I try connect localy, by curl  
`curl -XGET 127.0.0.1:9200`  
`curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 9200: Connection refused`

Did u have any idea whats is wrong?

Hey,

What do the Elasticsearch logs reveal? Typically the best best place to start when Elasticsearch won't start up.

You can typically find these in '/var/log/elasticsearch/\*' depending on your platform.

Cheers,  
Tom

What does a 'systemctl -l status elasticsearch' return beyond just the process info listed above?
