New to Elasticsearch and trying to install a second node. I installed on a Redhat system initially via the tar, just removed that and installed via the .rpm (elasticsearch-0.90.3.noarch.rpm) to run as a service. The logging directory is owned by elasticsearch and is writable; the node corrects to the others, but nothing is being written to the log file. When the service is started, I get these errors from log4j: # log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (common.jna). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See [http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig) for more info. If I understand them correctly, something is missing from my classpath, but I don't know what is missing nor where to put the .jars if I did. Any suggestions?
