Hi guys,

Thx for having me here. I'm a newbie 🙂  
I need your help :

My company would like to use ActiveCollab as a project management tool.  
AC requires ElasticSearch (but not supporting the 7.x version yet).

I'm trying to install Elasticsearch for 2 days now without success ☹  
I read a lot but i'm stuck.

Here is the log i got :

```
[root@vps555656 ~]# service elasticsearch status

```

Thx a lot for your help.

Hi @Pulko

Have you read the [Important Elasticsearch Configuration](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/important-settings.html), [Important System Configuration](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/system-config.html) and [Bootstrap Checks](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/bootstrap-checks.html)?

Please share your configuration of Elasticsearch with us. Which version of Elasticsearch have you installed on which OS?

Thank you for the information.
