Hi everyone,

ES fails to start after updating to Ubuntu 15.10, any hints would be appreciated...
Was working fine before update.

Hi,

You should check /var/log/elasticsearch/clustername.log and /var/log/messages for any error messages.

Thanks Mike but no clue there. Guess is something about user permissions. Had to reinstall ES. Back to normal now.
