Hi,

I have an Elasticsearch 1.3.2 installed in one of my aws instance, I  
followed the given steps to install the elastic cloud was plugin 2.3.0  
(since it is compatible version mentioned in the docs).

After that i have updated elasticsearch.yml with my s3 credentials and  
restarted elasticsearch with the command

"sudo service Elasticsearch restart"

Now when i am trying to create a repository by using following command

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/s3\_repos](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/s3_repos)' -d '{

> "type" : "s3",

> "settings": {

> ```
> "location": "########",
> 
> ```

> ```
> "region": "#########"
> 
> ```

> }  
> }'

I am getting the following error:

{"error":"RemoteTransportException[[[search2.test.muluverse.com](http://search2.test.muluverse.com)][inet[/######:9300]][cluster/repository/put]];  
nested: RepositoryException[[s3\_repos] failed to create repository];  
nested: NoClassSettingsException[failed to load class with value [s3];  
tried [s3, org.elasticsearch.repositories.S3RepositoryModule, org.elasticsearch.repositories.s3.S3RepositoryModule, org.elasticsearch.repositories.s3.S3RepositoryModule]]; nested:  
ClassNotFoundException[org.elasticsearch.repositories.s3.S3RepositoryModule];  
","status":500}

Any help on what I am missing in it would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,  
Tanveer.
