i tried creating a v7.4.0 deployment in ECE and it failed to start up which is unusual but sounds like a common issue. ---

Can you share the Elasticsearch logs? The logs from `systemd` are not useful, but Elasticsearch will have shared much more information in its own log file. ---

I think this manual page matches the problem you are facing, and gives a remedy: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/executable-jna-tmpdir.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/executable-jna-tmpdir.html) Could you try that? ---

I don't know if these steps are correct: I add the below line to /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch > ES\_TMPDIR=/usr/share/elasticsarch/tmp and add this > Environment=ES\_TMPDIR=/usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp after running this command systemctl edit --full elasticsearch.service Still can't start elasticsearch... ---

No, that's not what the instructions say. > ... you must remount the temporary directory used for JNA to not be mounted with `noexec` . The temporary directory in question is shown in the first log line: `java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/elasticsearch-6634371579246137060/jna--1985354563/jna258963392980261791.tmp: /tmp/elasticsearch-6634371579246137060/jna--1985354563/jna258963392980261791.tmp: failed to map seg ment from shared object: Operation not permitted` You must make sure that this is not mounted `noexec`. An alternative is also suggested in the docs: > Alternatively, this location can be controlled with the JVM flag `-Djna.tmpdir=`. ---

I’m not sure what to do. I install Elasticsearch on Centos 7 via rpm packages. Everything works perfectly until I upgraded to 7.4 via yum cmd. I tried to locate that tmp folder via sftp but can’t find it @@ ---

I am not following. Are you saying you cannot find `/tmp`? Why are you using `sftp`? Is `/tmp` mounted `noexec`? When you tried setting `ES_TMPDIR=/usr/share/elasticsarch/tmp` (spelled wrong?) did the messages change? If so, what did they look like? Did you try setting `-Djna.tmpdir=`? ---

I've removed it all. And make a clean install. By default it was working. And now I'm doing it step by step. 1.When I set `network.host` to elastic1.domain.xy it won't start again [Official Website](https://www.dgcustomerfirst.net/). I get a message about `non-loopback address` . And yes, before I get it here. I've read the [Boostrap Checks](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/bootstrap-checks.html) but still it has only an explanation and not a guide to fix this. ---

Hi @Sophie1892, this thread doesn't seem related to the problem you're asking about. Would you open a new topic instead? Also the message you are seeing will say a lot more than simply `non-loopback address`. It's not possible to help from just those few words. If you need help understanding the whole message then please share the whole message. ---

Hello, I installed elasticsearch for the first time ever today and am facing the exact same issue. I installed version 7.4 on CentOS 7. I also have cPanel installed. I didn't install Java as that was already present, it's used by solr (mailbox search, installed by cPanel). Actually elasticsearch seems to start but then terminates after about 30 seconds. It also seems to run if (as root) I execute this: /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -p ${PID\_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid But not via systemctl: sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service > Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-process:14733:16820115 (system bus name :1.12908, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en\_US.UTF-8) ---
