Hi

I have installed elasticsearch via the rpm as per the documentation. But I am unable to start the elasticsearch service, but running directly works (with warnings).

I don't know if this is related, but when I run this directly as the elasticsearch user it works but with warnings:

```

I have added the config to /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch:  
ES\_JAVA\_OPTS="-Djna.tmpdir=/var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp"

The directory exists and is writable, but it appears to be ignored.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is the interesting part of the error message

> `failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted`

What permissions is `/var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp` having?

</div>

Permissions

```auto
drwxr-sr-x. 2 elasticsearch elasticsearch xxxx xxxxx tmp

```

which I assume would be sufficient to allow the user to write to this directory.

Also, just to clarify the “failed to map” is a warning. Elastic search run directly even with this warning.

Okay. I am able to replicate the error (NoSuchMethodError) regardless of how elasticsearch is invoked by setting the ES\_TMPDIR.

```auto
ES_TMPDIR=/var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp

```

I know /tmp is noexec (which I don't want to change). Again any help would be appreciated.

</div>

Further developments. I have stripped all the ES\_TMP declarations and the JVM arguments are the same for both the service and direct. Directly it works with warnings, but the service fails with the following error:

```

I can't understand with the same settings the service fails, but directly it will not.

oooh, I didnt read the stacktrace carefully enought. The reason why this only happens with the service is, that the SystemdPlugin is not running, when not invoked via the package, because we cannot assume that you use Systemd. It's this code causing problems it seems: [elasticsearch/Libsystemd.java at master · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/systemd/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/systemd/Libsystemd.java#L21-L26)

Can you open an issue in the Elasticsearch repository, where you also mention your exact Linux distribution in order to be able to debug this further?

Thanks a lot!
