Hey I found the following thread : Unable to start elasticsearch as service - #5 by Kajol_Nimesh

It seems that you have a permission issue for the elastic directory /var/lib/elasticsearch :

Caused by: java.io.IOException: failed to obtain lock on /var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0

The reported solution is to give root permission to that directory : sudo chown -R elasticsearch:elasticsearch /var/lib/elasticsearch

Whether or not this is best practice from a security standpoint is unkwon to me. Try this solution, and pls tell if it worked for you.

Nope, it dint worked out... i have changed the permission and tried again.. please find the below out put again:

Hi Pnrao,

Please format your codes and errors under preformatted text </> or backticks (```) as it is really hard to read otherwise.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: failed to obtain node locks,

If this was not due to file permission issue,
Could you check if the process is not being stopped properly (any existing process running even if when

systemctl status elasticsearch

shows inactive?

sudo ps -aux | grep elasticsearch

Hope this can help with the troubleshooting.

If it isn't a permission issue, then it's most likely an issue with running processes. There probably is an elasticsearch instance that has not been properly terminated. Can you try changing the default port number, like for example : http.port: 9201
