Elasticsearch not starting on Debian 8

I have installed ES through deb package. and set the right file permissions (elasticsearch:elasticsearch) to the necessary folders including logs.

But when I start it is showing this error.

nirmal@magician:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch status

Could someone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks!
