Hi @ all, 🙂 I've updated ES from 5.6.12 to the latest version and can't start the service anymore. I've done this with the following steps: ``` wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/6.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-6.x.list apt update && apt install elasticsearch ``` After This I Have to set _ES\_PATH\_CONF=/etc/elasticsearch_ in _/etc/default/elasticsearch_ then dpkg finished successfully. Now when I try to start the service with _systemctl start elasticsearch_ I got the following error: [https://pastebin.com/q1Tzu5H6](https://pastebin.com/q1Tzu5H6) When I try to start ES manually as elasticsearch user with _sudo -i -u elasticsearch /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ I get the following error: [https://pastebin.com/CawfYLWG](https://pastebin.com/CawfYLWG) I use ES with Graylog. Here all Files: /etc/default/elasticsearch [https://pastebin.com/zZ9tfGX3](https://pastebin.com/zZ9tfGX3) /usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service [https://pastebin.com/4Qft9d8Y](https://pastebin.com/4Qft9d8Y) /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml [https://pastebin.com/dhYtWXZJ](https://pastebin.com/dhYtWXZJ) Now I'm stuck and need some help 🙂 Greetings Ronny ---

Hi, I think I have solved my initial issue with setting `path.data:` and `path.logs:` to `/var/lib/elasticsearch`. There is the old Elasticsearch 5.6.12 data stored. I've found the path it with `echo $ES_HOME`. Now i get another error that i cant solve anymore. [https://pastebin.com/u03aNFUC](https://pastebin.com/u03aNFUC) There is an error but but i cant find a solution for this. ``` Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "/etc/graylog/server/ssl/cacerts.jks" "read") ``` But I don't know how to solve it. I tried the following without success - `chmod 777` - `chown root:root` - `chown elasticsearch:elasticsearch` Greetings 😕 ---

For security reasons, Elasticsearch will only read config files from within its config directory. Is `/etc/graylog/server/ssl/` a subdirectory of the Elasticsearch config directory? ---

Hi, thanks for reply. 🙂 `/etc/graylog/server/ssl/` is the graylog ssl directory. The Elasticsearch config is `ES_PATH_CONF=/etc/elasticsearch` Befor I upgraded Elasticsearch from 5.6.12 to 6.6 this config works without any problems. How could i solve this? ---

Just a workaround but it help for the moment. I just removed`-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/etc/graylog/server/ssl/cacerts.jks` in `/etc/defaults/elasticsearch` Now Elsticsearch starts normaly. ---
