Hi, everyone I'm trying to install elasticsearch 1.2.1 on a ubuntu 14.04 server. I used the dpkg -i to install When I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start', it says: "Starting Elasticsearch Server [OK]", but actually no process is ever started, and I couldn't find any errors or any logs in the log folder( /var/log/elasticsearch). I tried to run 'sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch start' directly, and it is able to start and i can get response when using curl, although it gives me the following warnning: log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (node). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See [http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig) for more info. I tried to edit settings in /etc/default/elasticsearch, uncommented the following lines: ES\_HEAP\_SIZE=2g MAX\_LOCKED\_MEMORY=unlimited # Elasticsearch log directory LOG\_DIR=/var/log/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch data directory DATA\_DIR=/home/data/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch work directory WORK\_DIR=/home/tmp/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch configuration directory CONF\_DIR=/etc/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch configuration file (elasticsearch.yml) CONF\_FILE=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml When restart the service, I did see it created the folder, but still failed to run, even thought it says 'OK' Could anyone help me to figure out why and how to run it?

Hi Steven, Change the logging level to TRACE or DEBUG and check the logs , you should be able to identify the problem.

Hi, Sri I tried to change logging level to TRACE in logging.yml file, but still it just did not create any logs. I noticed it only read settings inside "/etc/default/elasticsearch", but never read settings inside "/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml", even though I have 'CONF\_FILE=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml' So if I set 'LOG\_DIR=/home/log/elasticsearch', 'DATA\_DIR=/home/data/elasticsearch' inside "/etc/default/elasticsearch", it will at least create those directories accordingly when starting, but it will not if I set those variables inside 'elasticsearch.yml' file using path.data, path.logs. This also makes me believe the logging.yml file is never read.

Hey, if you put something like 'set -x' into /etc/init.d/elasticsearch (not in the first line, but somewhere below that), you can see, how elasticsearch is started (and which parameters from the default file are used). Can you paste that output here, so we can debug further? Cant say if it is a configuration issue or a packaging bug now, but would love to.. and fix if needed 🙂 --Alex On Fri, Jun 27, 2014 at 9:57 PM, Steven Yue [jincheker@gmail.com](mailto:jincheker@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, sri > > Thanks for your reply.
