All - I downloaded the latest ES rpm and installed on centos. When tried running the script in foreground, i see that the logging is not enabled. tried both /etc/init.d/elasticsearch -f and /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/ -f both. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (node). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See [http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig) for more info. Searched for answers in the internet and tried the following as well I tried adding export ES\_CLASSPATH=/etc/elasticsearch/logging.yml changed patch.conf, path.data in elasticsearch.yml file also But, Nothing seems to fix the logging problem. Is there an easier solution to this problem? -vidhya -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Had to add this to /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch So "any" startup of elasticsearch will pickup ES\_JAVA\_OPTS="-Des.config=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml -Des.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch/ -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -Des.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Des.path.data=/var/lib/elasticsearch -Des.path.work=/tmp/elasticsearch -Des.path.plugins=/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins" Is this a defect in RPM distribution? We do not want to edit anything post installation. because our installation is automatic using yum. Should I raise a defect for this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, this is a result, that all the package files are moved around in the filesystem instead of having it centrally in one directory, like in the zip file distribution. Usually the init script takes care of it all and you do not have to add all those path configurations manually. Any specific reason you dont use the init script in /etc/init.d/elasticsearch? --Alex On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 5:53 AM, Srividhya Umashanker \< [srividhya.umashanker@gmail.com](mailto:srividhya.umashanker@gmail.com)\> wrote: > Had to add this to /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch > So "any" startup of elasticsearch will pickup > > ES\_JAVA\_OPTS="-Des.config=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml > -Des.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch/ -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch > -Des.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Des.path.data=/var/lib/elasticsearch > -Des.path.work=/tmp/elasticsearch > -Des.path.plugins=/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins" > > Is this a defect in RPM distribution?

Alex - I wanted to run it in the foreground for some testing. I think the init.d script runs it as a demon. -VIdhya > Hey, > > this is a result, that all the package files are moved around in the > filesystem instead of having it centrally in one directory, like in the zip > file distribution.
