Hi, I just started using elasticsearch in the java application and have a problem to configure path.data in elasticsearch.yml to point to the same location on my local PC. I created some simple inputs from the java application. I configured my client as given bellow: ImmutableSettings.Builder settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder(); settings.put("path.home", "/home/zoran/elasticsearch"); settings.put("cluster.name","elasticsearch"); settings.put("node.name","movies"); settings.put("index.number\_of\_replicas", 0); settings.put("index.number\_of\_shards", 1); I'm trying to configure the same in elasticsearch server through the configuration file, so I can access data from the web browser restful client, but it fails to restart after I add path.data: /home/zoran/elasticsearch I'm sure that there is not a problem in permission (it's 777). I have managed to make it start once, but it didn't point to the same directory as data inserted from the java application was available only from the java application. Can you give me instructions what should I do here? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, can you please paste the exception which occurs, I cannot imagine, that it just does not work. Also see [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/dir-layout/) Setting path.home might require some more directories to exist (with the correct permissions), please verify that. --Alex On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 12:15 AM, Zoran Jeremic [zoran.jeremic@gmail.com](mailto:zoran.jeremic@gmail.com)wrote: > Hi, > > I just started using elasticsearch in the java application and have a > problem to configure path.data in elasticsearch.yml to point to the same > location on my local PC.

Hi Alexander, Thank you for your email. Here is the whole method I'm using to get the elasticsearch node: ImmutableSettings.Builder settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder(); ElasticSearchConfig elasticSearchConfig=Settings.getInstance().config.elastiSearchConfig; String homePath=elasticSearchConfig.homePath; //homePath is set to /home/zoran/elasticsearch settings.put("cluster.name", elasticSearchConfig.clusterName); settings.put("path.conf", homePath); settings.put("path.data", homePath + "/data"); settings.put("path.work", homePath + "/work"); settings.put("path.logs", homePath + "/logs") ; settings.put("index.number\_of\_replicas", elasticSearchConfig.replicasNumber); settings.put("index.number\_of\_shards", elasticSearchConfig.shardsNumber); settings.build(); ``` Node node = ``` NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().settings(settings).local(true).build().start(); return node; After I ran the java application and inserted couple of the documents, the data directory was created in elasticsearch directory which was empty before. As sudo I added 777 permissions on /home/zoran/elasticsearch and all subdirectories. Furthermore, in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml I uncommented line: path.data: /home/zoran/elasticsearch/data after elasticsearch restart I had - Stopping Elasticsearch Server [ OK ] - Starting Elasticsearch Server [fail] There is no exception I can paste here. In elasticsearch.log this is the whole log I have: [2013-05-27 09:35:51,035][INFO][node] [movies] {0.90.0}[2107]: initializing ...
