Requesting for help with Elasticsearch. I installed Elasticsearch in my ubuntu server 20.04 but unable to get it to work. The command : systemctl status Elasticsearch.service yielded the following: ```auto $ systemctl status elasticsearch.service ● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Tue 2021-09-28 17:20:33 EDT; 1h 5min ago Docs: https://www.elastic.co Process: 707743 ExecStart=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/systemd-entrypoint -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet (code=k> Main PID: 707743 (code=killed, signal=TERM) Sep 28 17:19:14 eooubuserver systemd[1]: Starting Elasticsearch...

Hi, Just a couple ideas to check: 1. Did you set up the file /etc/Elasticsearch/Elasticsearch.yml? The content is something like this: ```auto cluster.name: CLUSTER-NAME node.name: ${HOSTNAME} path.data: DATA-PATH path.logs: LOG-DIR network.host: BIND-ADDRESS http.port: 9200 ``` 1. In that file, there's also a "path.pid" I think. That's for storing the Elasticsearch process ID when it starts. The reason for that is the following line in your `systemctl status elasticsearch` command output: ```auto ... -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet (code=k> ``` Try to see if you can access ${PID\_DIR}. ---

There's nothing after that at all? Does Elasticsearch respond to a curl on 9200 for the host? ---

This is all I get . For the response from Elasticsearch what I get is : ```auto $ curl -X GET "localhost:9200/" curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused ``` ---

Yeah that's what I expected. How much memory on your host? Your heap is pretty small, but that shouldn't stop things from starting. ---

So it looks like `elasticsearch` is running. The logs you showed so far are all INFO messages. Can you look for some errors? ```auto grep -i error /var/log/elasticsearch/*log ``` 1. If it's memory related, you can check to see if the JVM running ok. In `/etc/elasticsearch/` dir. there's a file for configuring java options: `jvm.options`. What options are set in there? 2. Can you ping localhost (127.0.0.1) or ssh to it? About the `curl` command, it's probably to use _https_ by default. Try it with _http_. Or, just open `http://localhost:9200` in a browser. ---

It's better that you put the `cat jvm.options` output in a fixed format block: ```auto like this ``` Anyway, there's no error in your Elasticsearch logs. Did you try curl with http (not https)? ```auto curl "http://localhost:9200" ``` ---
