What did you download exactly?
Why 5.0?
How did you install it?
How do you start it?

/usr/share/elasticsearch-2/lib/elasticsearch-2.4.1.jar ( earlier version and later updated)

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-5.0.0.zip

yum update elasticsearch

/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch &

I'm confused.

Are you mixing versions?

Again why 5.0.0? Latest is 5.6.0.

yum update elasticsearch does not refer to the thing you downloaded.

I'm afraid I can't help without understanding what you do exactly... May be others are understanding and can help?

Latest might be 5.6 but we are using 5.0.0 in our production.

6

But you mentioned that you updated, right?

Why updating to an already old and buggy version?

7

Can we have a look at your elasticsearch.yml?

8

5.0.0 is buggy?
