Missing plugin-descriptor.properties

ryext · February 16, 2018, 8:36am

hey, i am trying to install x-pack plugin.
Here is my command:
./elasticsearch-plugin install file:///home/admin/Downloads/x-pack-6.2.1.zip

Once i execute i get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/.installing-1923361234913937038/plugin-descriptor.properties

PS: the directory .installing-1923361234913937038 is random so on every execution i get a different directory

thank you

hey,

which operating system is this? Which link did you download for the 6.2.1 zip file? Are you running with internet enabled/disabled when you install the plugin?

--Alex

ryext · February 16, 2018, 8:46am

internet is disabled i have to simulate an offline installation.
running it on Centos 7
i downloaded the Zip from the x-path install guideline

https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/packs/x-pack/x-pack-6.2.1.zip

and thank you for your fast reply.

spinscale · February 16, 2018, 8:59am

A see some weirdness going on with the above error message (the mentioned line numbers do not match with 6.2.1, as if another/older version of Elasticsearch is installed).

Have you upgraded Elasticsearch as well? If so, which version were you on before? Can you run the following command?

find /usr/share/elasticsearch/ -type f

and paste the output here?

In case you upgraded Elasticsearch, which commands did you run?

Thank you!

That looks good.

Can you run

/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///home/admin/Downloads/x-pack-6.2.1.zip

I just want to make sure, the path is the right one (sorry for debugging this kind of simple failures, but I just want to exclude a bunch of things and be sure the right code is called).

What about the other upgrade questions?

i get the same message error.

no upgrade was done it was a fresh install.

Hey,

so you are on 6.1.3 locally according to the find call, but try to install x-pack 6.2.1 here. What does rpm -q elasticsearch return?

This is the version mismatch, that I was searching for. I didnt correctly read it for the first time.

Can you try to install x-pack 6.1.3 together with elasticsearch 6.1.3 or x-pack 6.2.1 with Elasticsearch 6.2.1 RPM?

--Alex

ryext · February 16, 2018, 9:27am

elasticsearch-6.1.3-1.noarch

that is the return .
so i need to install x-pack 6.1.3 ?

spinscale · February 16, 2018, 9:28am

yes, each plugin needs to resemble the version of ES, x-pack is no exception.

ryext · February 16, 2018, 9:30am

Thank you for your support.

Keep up the awsome work.
