#### Post date: [March 24, 2014, 9:53am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/install-elasticsearch-1-0-1-on-ubuntu-12-04-fails-with-sudo-dpkg-i-elasticsearch-1-0-1-deb/16561/1 "2014-03-24T09:53:20Z")
I am trying to install Elasticsearch 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. So far I have
done:
First I removed the old elasticsearch 0.90 package
sudo dpkg -r elasticsearch
Then
cd ~
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless -y
wget [https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.0.1.deb](https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.0.1.deb)
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-1.0.1.deb
The last step results in the following
(Reading database ... 57341 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace elasticsearch 1.0.1 (using elasticsearch-1.0.1.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement elasticsearch ...
Setting up elasticsearch (1.0.1) ...
chown: cannot access `/etc/elasticsearch/\*': No such file or directory
So I created /etc/elasticsearch with a dummy file in it and then did
sudo chmod 777 /etc/elasticsearch
Now when I run
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-1.0.1.deb
I get
(Reading database ... 57341 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace elasticsearch 1.0.1 (using elasticsearch-1.0.1.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement elasticsearch ...
Setting up elasticsearch (1.0.1) ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
But nothing appears in /etc/elasticsearch
However I do get a folder appear in
/usr/share/elasticsearch
With the following contents
bin core-signatures.txt lib NOTICE.txt README.textile
From here if I run
sudo bin/elasticsearch
I get
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (node). log4j:WARN Please
initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See
[http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig) for more info.
And continues to run
If I open a new window and run
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200'
I get
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Volstagg",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.0.1",
"build\_hash" : "5c03844e1978e5cc924dab2a423dc63ce881c42b",
"build\_timestamp" : "2014-02-25T15:52:53Z",
"build\_snapshot" : false,
"lucene\_version" : "4.6"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
So it appears to be running, and I can populate the search (symfony2
FOSElasticaBundle) with
php app/console fos:elastica:populate
But if I do a search no results are found.
There is nothing in /etc/elasticsearch apart from the dummy file I placed
in there.
I have found the configuration file at /etc/default/elasticsearch which is
all commented out at present.
The Symfony2 error I get when trying to search is: ERROR - Caught
exception: SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query],
all shards failed
So the question is please, has it installed or not and why isn't it working
properly?
Thanks
Patrick

I have managed to install elasticsearch- 1.0.1 by using an old method
cd ~
wget [https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.0.1.tar.gz](https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.0.1.tar.gz)
tar -xf elasticsearch-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/
sudo mkdir elasticsearch
cd elasticsearch
cd ~
sudo mv elasticsearch-1.0.1 /usr/local/elasticsearch/
now if I run
enter code here
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200'
it returns
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Mister Jip",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.0.1",
"build\_hash" : "5c03844e1978e5cc924dab2a423dc63ce881c42b",
"build\_timestamp" : "2014-02-25T15:52:53Z",
"build\_snapshot" : false,
"lucene\_version" : "4.6"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty'
now returns:
{
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",
"status" : "green",
"timed\_out" : false,
"number\_of\_nodes" : 2,
"number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 2,
"active\_primary\_shards" : 5,
"active\_shards" : 10,
"relocating\_shards" : 0,
"initializing\_shards" : 0,
"unassigned\_shards" : 0
}
I can populate my search indexes and all is working fine. I still don't
know why I couldn't install with the package installer so my original
question is unanswered.

Hey,
if you create a file /etc/elasticsearch, then the debian package can not
create a directory at the same position. Creating a directory instead might
help (or remove everything with that name before the installation).
Also, when you start elasticsearch, you should use the init script,
otherwise logging is not configured appropriately (this is why you get the
above error message).
I could not reproduce that error when installing elasticsearch 1.0.1 on a
local ubuntu VM, is it possible you have somehow messed up your
/etc/elasticsearch directory/file before?

Hi, the reason I had to create the /etc/elasticsearch directory with an
empty file in it, is otherwise I would get a cannot create directory error
(possibly permissions problem). It is quite possible that I have messed up
the /etc/elasticsearch before, but I'm not sure how to rectify this
problem. I have tried deleting the directory but that results in the cannot
create directory error.
Cheers

Hey,
note that dpkg -r does not remove config files, so it might be that the
file/directory was already there with wrong permissions (otherwise I would
have seen that error on my local ubuntu as well I guess)? If you want to
make sure that all old config data is removed, you need to call dpkg -P
I'd be very happy if you could reproduce it reliably so I can take a
further look.
