Hi, so I want to install Elasticsearch from archieve ([Install Elasticsearch from archive on Linux or MacOS | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/targz.html)). Why? Because I need to install them on custom path (by default Elasticsearch installed on /etc/Elasticsearch). From the documentation,it is said that I just need to run this to start the service: ```auto ./bin/elasticsearch -d -p pid ``` But, I won't start on reboot, right? So, I create systemd service using reference from systemd service when we install from package. ```auto [Unit] Description=Elasticsearch Documentation=https://www.elastic.co Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target [Service] Type=notify RuntimeDirectory=elasticsearch-7.15.0 PrivateTmp=true Environment=ES_HOME=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0 Environment=ES_PATH_CONF=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/ Environment=PID_DIR=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/var/run Environment=ES_SD_NOTIFY=true WorkingDirectory=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0 User=deployer Group=deployer ExecStart=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/systemd-entrypoint -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet ``` And create `systemd-entrypoint` script: ```auto #!/bin/sh # This wrapper script allows SystemD to feed a file containing a passphrase into # the main Elasticsearch startup script if [-n "$ES_KEYSTORE_PASSPHRASE_FILE"] ; then exec /mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/elasticsearch "$@" < "$ES_KEYSTORE_PASSPHRASE_FILE" else exec /mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/elasticsearch "$@" fi ``` But, when I run systemctl start Elasticsearch it won't start and get error: ```auto elasticsearch.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC ``` Why that error mean? Or maybe any other idea? My goal is just to make sure my Elasticsearch service will run automatically after server reboot. ---

What do the Elasticsearch logs say? ---

The issue on my post has resolved after I modify my ExecStart to: ```auto ExecStart=/bin/bash /mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/systemd-entrypoint -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet ``` But I got another error: ```auto -- Unit elasticsearch.service has begun starting up.
