Hi, I am trying to learn about Elastic and fscrawler so I can catalogue and search my pdf’s on a win7 machine. I am going up a very steep learning curve haha I have installed elastic version 6.4.2 using the suggested installer and its working “as a service” and accessing via [http://127.0.0.1:9202](http://127.0.0.1:9202), I get for name:”MESH-PC” the following ``` |cluster_name|"elasticsearch"| ``` |---|---| | cluster\_uuid|"GhGmJvzKTwK\_uktjKa3vjQ"| | version|| | number|"6.4.2"| | build\_flavor|"unknown"| | build\_type|"unknown"| | build\_hash|"04711c2"| | build\_date|"2018-09-26T13:34:09.098244Z"| | build\_snapshot|false| | lucene\_version|"7.4.0"| | minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version|"5.6.0"| | minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version|"5.0.0"| | tagline|"You Know, for Search"| I am using port 9202 as 9200 is being used (information from ipconfig) I have had numerous problems: 1.I set-up c:\tmp\es manually but changing .json gives an invalid code message when I replace “/tmp/es” with “c:\tmp\es” 2.The fscrawler message said that I would find the .json file in c:/users/david/.fscrawler/{job\_name}/\_settings.json but it is the a folder called “c:/vtroot” I am also unable to create elasticsearch client, see trace below ```
