Hi guys
I'm sure this happed before, but please help me to understand something.
I'm getting "node settings must not contain any index level settings" on the error log, ok, now in the logs it also says that I should run curl to configure the index setting, but how can I connect to port 9200 if I cannot even start the service?
I removed any reference from the config file, and also started with the default one provided by the installation that has no reference to index configuration at all, so I'm lost and stuck in here
Any help appreciated
Regards

Please close this post! sorry for the noise, I was starting ES from the command line instead of systemcl
Thanks
