Hi,
I was trying to upgrade my elasticsearch version 1.6 to 2.4.4 on my Ubuntu 14.04. What i did is i downloaded elasticsearch-2.4.4.deb from your site and installed it.
At the time of installation it asked me to change /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml and /etc/init.d/elasticsearch and i said N.
After installation when i try to start elasticsearch, in log it says: [2017-02-09 12:46:17,129][INFO ][bootstrap ] es.default.config is no longer supported. elasticsearch.yml must be placed in the config directory and cannot be renamed.
And elasticseach didn't get started.
Any help please.
I used .deb package so that Elasticsearch can work as a service. And by this it will run on console.
i need to change the permissions of folders as don't run elasticsearch as root
Logs are printed on console, not in /var/log/elasticsearch/. I need to put one more parameter for log file location may be. Well i need to pass every location like data, pid directories.
Thanks for this but i don't think this is a solution to use on production.
Hi Mark,
Yes i think so, i needed to take a backup of old config files and then try to upgrade it. But the thing is that i haven't found any clue for this in any up-gradation doc.
