Ha thanks! That helps a lot. Cause is: (extracted from File.listFile() javadoc) An array of abstract pathnames denoting the files and directories in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname. The array will be empty if the directory is empty. Returns null if this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, or if an I/O error occurs. Could you ls -l plugins I think it's your directory is rwx only for root user and may be you are trying to launch elasticsearch from another Linux user or something. That said, I'm going to fix this NPE and log a better error than this one. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 16 nov. 2013 à 00:09, Mohit Anchlia [mohitanchlia@gmail.com](mailto:mohitanchlia@gmail.com) a écrit : This is the only log entry I got in es: [2013-11-15 18:08:32,326][INFO][node] [10.80.140.242] version[0.90.6], pid[22125], build[e2a24ef/2013-11-04T13:55:15Z] [2013-11-15 18:08:32,326][INFO][node] [10.80.140.242] initializing ...

Cause is: (extracted from File.listFile() javadoc) An array of abstract pathnames denoting the files and directories in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname. The array will be empty if the directory is empty. Returns null if this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, or if an I/O error occurs.
