@epheria , @elasticscrub it seems this is just a docs error in

> **[Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.0\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.0/deb.html#deb-check-running)**

```auto
curl --cacert /etc/elasticsearch/config/certs/http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 

```

should be

```auto
curl --cacert /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 

```

Apologies for missing this above. We will adjust the docs, thanks for bringing this up !
