Error starting kibana win 10 - events.js:174

[Elmo_Heyns]

Hi All

ELK NOOB here. Been on google for some time now but im unable to get the issue sorted.

SYSTEM:
Windows 10 FULLY updated 64x
Latest java JDK 12.0.1 64x
JAVA_HOME is set the c:\Java\jdk-12.0.1
PATH: c:\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin

I run the ealsticsearch bat file and it starts
When i then go to my browser http://localhost:9200 i get the correct output.

I then run the Kibana.bat and this is my output

events.js:174
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, write
Emitted 'error' event at:
at WriteStream.onerror (_stream_readable.js:691:12)
at WriteStream.emit (events.js:189:13)
at onwriteError (_stream_writable.js:431:12)
at onwrite (_stream_writable.js:456:5)
at lazyFs.write (internal/fs/streams.js:300:14)
at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:505:5)
Press any key to continue . . .

I have searched high and low and tried giving full permissions for the logs destination and i have tried reinstalling. Those are the two top resolutions when i google.

ANY help will be much appreciated.

@Elmo_Heyns thats strange. Are you able to start kibana by just calling manually the same things the bat is calling itself?

Cheers

I tried both and both was giving me the same issue.

I have now decided to move to the docker solution instead.
