How do I start elasticsearch as a service?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Forgive me I'm a little lost.

I am working on deploying elasticsearch on a AWS server. Previously in
development I have started elasticsearch using ./bin/elasticsearch
-Des.config=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

But in live deployment, I want to keep elasticsearch running as a service...

I have 1.2.0 installed on Ubuntu 12.04 on my AWS instance.

I run sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start and I get:

  • Starting Elasticsearch server

I check sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch status and I get:

  • elasticsearch is not running

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks

Check the logs under /var/log/elasticsearch, they should have something.

Also please be aware that 1.2.0 has a critical bug and you should be using
1.2.1 instead.

Thanks Mark, I found that if I comment out the line in elasticsearch.yml
that sets the data path, it works.

I will upgrade as you have suggested, thanks for that.
