Hi, Here is the way to solve it: You have to set the variables in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml: path.data: path/to/data path.work: path/to/work path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch path.conf: /etc/elasticsearch And remember to give access to user "elasticsearch" for folder that elasticsearch uses: chown -R elasticsearch /path/to/data chown -R elasticsearch /path/to/work Regards.
