Dear All,
I have installed ES v7.6.2 using rpm file. I have used following command to install and ES was installed successfully without giving an error.
rpm -i elasticsearch-7.6.2-x86_64.rpm
Before installing ES i had installed JAVA using following command.
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64
When I check the JAVA version, it gives the correct installed version as below.
openjdk version "1.8.0_242"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_242-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.242-b08, mixed mode)
But the problem is when I try to run the ES service it is not coming up and following error is logged in the logs.

Apr 14 03:10:13 localhost systemd: Started Cleanup of Temporary Directories.
When i went through the log file I identified that the error was because of permission issue with a file.
Apr 14 03:05:49 localhost elasticsearch: Exception in thread "main"org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapException:java.nio.file.AccessDeniedExceptin: /var/run/elasticsearch
But when i checked on the above mentioned file, there was no file with that name in the mentioned directory.
Please help me to solve this error and I had configured ES v6.5 using the same method and it is running without any issue.
Thanks in advance
