Hi, I just upgraded my first data node from 7.1.1 to 7.5.0 and the node will not start using "systemctl start elasticsearch". This is a Centos 7.0 OS.

To upgrade I stopped the node with "systemctl stop elasticsearch"  
then ran rpm -U elasticsearch-7.5.0-x86\_64.rpm

ouput from command:

> warning: elasticsearch-7.5.0-x86\_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID d88e42b4: NOKEY  
> warning: /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options created as /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options.rpmnew  
> md5sum: /etc/elasticsearch/.elasticsearch.keystore.initial\_md5sum: No such file or directory

when I first attempted to start, I found this in the journalctl file:

> Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapException: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /var/run/elasticsearch

I added the directory and gave it elasticsearh owner.

2nd attempt to start failed with this error (looks like I am missing /usr/lib64/libsystemd.so.0).

```

Is there some software requirements I am missing from 7.1.1 to 7.5.0?

May I ask from what CentOS release to which CentOS you upgraded? Or are you still running 7.0, just upgraded some dependencies?
