I'm trying to install graph-2.3.1.zip into our elasticsearch-2.2.0 installation. I'm following the instructions at [Installing Graph | Elasticsearch Graph [2.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/graph/current/installing-graph.html), installing from a zip file and I'm getting the error:

> CONF\_FILE setting is no longer supported. elasticsearch.yml must be placed in the config directory and cannot be renamed.

From this post, [CONF\_FILE setting is no longer supported - #9 by ekovacs](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/conf-file-setting-is-no-longer-supported/40333/9), I see that I should comment out the CONF\_FILE line in /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch. I did that on all three nodes of my elasticsearch cluster, restarted the cluster and ran the install again but got the same error. What am I doing wrong?
