I am into troubles when i use elasticsearch 1.5.2 by javaAPI, this is my code: ``` Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder() .put("client.transport.ignore_cluster_name", true) .put("client.transport.sniff", true) .put(GroovyScriptEngineService.GROOVY_SCRIPT_SANDBOX_ENABLED, true) .build(); Client client = null; try{ client = new TransportClient(settings) .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("192.168.60.221", 9300)); ... SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch("shanghai") .setTypes("gcjl_hphminfo") .setSearchType(SearchType.DFS_QUERY_THEN_FETCH) .setQuery(QueryBuilders.termQuery("clpp", "48")) // Query .setPostFilter(FilterBuilders.scriptFilter("doc['clnk'].value | clnk").addParam("clnk", 1)) // Filter .setFrom(0).setSize(100).setExplain(true) .execute() .actionGet(); ' ``` it is the exception: ``` : Failed to execute phase [dfs], all shards failed; shardFailures {[n5Awr3SoRPuFRJO3Uz3ICg][shanghai][0]: SearchParseException[[shanghai][0]: query[clpp:48],from[0],size[100]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"from":0,"size":100,"query":{"term":{"clpp":"48"}},"post_filter":{"script":{"script":"doc['clnk'].value + clnk","params":{"clnk":1}}},"explain":true}]]]; nested: ScriptException[dynamic scripting for [groovy] disabled]; }{[n5Awr3SoRPuFRJO3Uz3ICg][shanghai][1]: SearchParseException[[shanghai][1]: query[clpp:48],from[0],size[100]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"from":0,"size":100,"query":{"term":{"clpp":"48"}},"post_filter":{"script":{"script":"doc['clnk'].value + clnk","params":{"clnk":1}}},"explain":true}]]]; nested: ScriptException[dynamic scripting for [groovy] disabled]; }{[n5Awr3SoRPuFRJO3Uz3ICg][shanghai][2]: SearchParseException[[shanghai][2]: query[clpp:48],from[0],size[100]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"from":0,"size":100,"query":{"term":{"clpp":"48"}},"post_filter":{"script":{"script":"doc['clnk'].value + clnk","params":{"clnk":1}}},"explain":true}]]]; nested: ScriptException[dynamic scripting for [groovy] disabled]; }{[n5Awr3SoRPuFRJO3Uz3ICg][shanghai][3]: SearchParseException[[shanghai][3]: query[clpp:48],from[0],size[100]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"from":0,"size":100,"query":{"term":{"clpp":"48"}},"post_filter":{"script":{"script":"doc['clnk'].value + clnk","params":{"clnk":1}}},"explain":true}]]]; nested: ScriptException[dynamic scripting for [groovy] disabled]; }{[n5Awr3SoRPuFRJO3Uz3ICg][shanghai][4]: SearchParseException[[shanghai][4]: query[clpp:48],from[0],size[100]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"from":0,"size":100,"query":{"term":{"clpp":"48"}},"post_filter":{"script":{"script":"doc['clnk'].value + clnk","params":{"clnk":1}}},"explain":true}]]]; nested: ScriptException[dynamic scripting for [groovy] disabled]; } ``` I have setted "script.disable\_dynamic: false" in elasticsearch.yml,but it is not afftected,so,what should i do in order to let it work rightly? ---

Did you set `script.disable_dynamic: false` on all of your nodes? Did you restart Elasticsearch after making this change? ---

I have restart it three times after i set script.disable\_dynamic: false, and i run it in single node ,the version is 1.5.2 ---

Ok, how did you install your node? from the zip/tarball, the rpm or the deb? If you installed through the rpm or the deb I believe the default location for `elasticsearch.yml` is in `/etc/elasticsearch` so you would need to update it there rather than in the `$ES_HOME/config` directory ---

I install it through zip in CentOS 6.2,i update it in the $ES\_HOME/config directory, try many ways to suit it ,but all failed! ---

I find the reason that it throws exception,when I press ^ to insert a space at begin of the script.disable\_dynamic: false,it works rightly,I forget the rule,now it is ok! thanks to colings86! ---
