Elasticsearch installation at VPS

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

We are trying to install elasticsearch v1.4.4 at our inmotionhosting VPS server. However the service is crashing again and again. Does anyone faced similar issue and how did you install successfully.

We are having the following issue:

error: permission denied on key 'vm.max_map_count'

CT-3033-bash-4.1# log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (common).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Any guidance would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Waqar

Hi Waqar,

it seems you're running into this issue: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/4978

It is fixed by https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/8793 in Elasticsearch 1.5.

So your easiest option should be to upgrade to Elasticsearch 1.5 at least if possible.
