I fund the file "jvm.options" in the folder "config". I have change the parameters "Xms" and "Xmx" with "1g" or "8 g" and nothing. Always the same error. ---

I found the problem. I increase the number of processus of user "elasticsearch" of 2 to 200 to modify the file "/etc/security/limits.conf" and added the line > elasticsearch hard nproc 200 Now, I have a another problem: > [elasticsearch@pcyy4aix bin]$ ./elasticsearch > Exception in thread "main" SettingsException[Failed to load settings from /logiciels/elasticsearch-5.3.0/config/elasticsearch.yml]; nested: AccessDeniedException[/logiciels/elasticsearch-5.3.0/config/elasticsearch.yml]; > at org.elasticsearch.node.InternalSettingsPreparer.prepareEnvironment(InternalSettingsPreparer.java:107) > at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.createEnv(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:63) > at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:58) > at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:122) > at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:88) > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:91) > at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:84) > Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /logiciels/elasticsearch-5.3.0/config/elasticsearch.yml > at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:84) > at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:102) > at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:107) > at sun.nio.fs.UnixFileSystemProvider.newByteChannel(UnixFileSystemProvider.java:214) > at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:361) > at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:407) > at java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider.newInputStream(FileSystemProvider.java:384) > at java.nio.file.Files.newInputStream(Files.java:152) > at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings$Builder.loadFromPath(Settings.java:1011) > at org.elasticsearch.node.InternalSettingsPreparer.prepareEnvironment(InternalSettingsPreparer.java:105) > ... 6 more ---

I fund this error's origin. The folder of "elasticsearch" had the owner "root" instead of "elasticsearch".
