Elasticsearch.yml does not work in Windows

[Moon (Kyu Tae Moon)]

Hi, I installed elasticsearch in Windows.

I changed elasticsearch.yml ex) cluster name, node.name, node.master ....

I went to localhost:9200/ and checked http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true

However, it was not changed. It showed default setting.

I checked JDK environment variables.

plz help me

@Moon

I installed elasticsearch in Windows.

What method did you use (MSI or zip), and which version?

I changed elasticsearch.yml

In which path? Is it possible you edited the wrong copy of the file?

I went to localhost:9200/

Did you restart the Elasticsearch service first?

I downloaded elasticsearch-6.3.1.zip

The yml file was located in default config folder

After revising, i restarted the service.

I don't know why it does not read config file.

I put config condition respectively in terminal

for example, elasticsearch -Ecluster.name=my-cluster
