Hey,
is this a stock Elasticsearch 5.1.2 distribution? You just took the zip file and unzipped it? Did you do anything special when installing elasticsearch?
One more thing: Can you try to install a java JDK instead of an JRE (at least the path you showed in your in the first post, seems to indicate it is a jre).

Hey,
why did you run `bin/elasticsearch start` - can you run without the `start`?

Hey,
first, the JXM line is **commented out**. It is not applied. This means, you very likely have modified the file?
second, the error why Elasticsearch does not start is not about the JXM error. You omitted the other issue in this post, which states that you cannot configure the number of shards and number of replicas in your elasticsearch configuration. When I asked if you took the standard distribution I was also assuming you did not have your own configuration files. Apparently the whole config directory is very custom, so we just misunderstood each other there.

Hi Alex
i can say that the config is the standard config from 2.3.4, and I try to modify so that is working with our deployment process and with 5.x. My problem is only the permission denied because the other errors are "only" WARN-s and I know how can I change the configuration.
Sould I increase the loglevel?
Mit Freundlichen Grüßen
Krisz
