Hi -- I've followed the instructions for installing elasticsearch on linux, but when I try to run the elasticsearch service wrapper, I get this error: "eval: 1: /opt/elasticsearch/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-x86-64: not found" The file /opt/elasticsearch/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-x86-64 is definitely there, and is executable. Can anyone offer any advice on how I might fix this? I'm running Ubuntu (Hardy), and it's only 32 bit, which might be related to the issue? Cheers, Doug. ---

Hi -- I'm investigating this, but I'm not really a bash shell scripter, so any suggestions & advice would be very gratefully received. Or any pointers to anywhere else I could go to ask the question? Thanks, Doug.

Okay, so hacking around (after installing the service), I've added the following line (at line 483) to the service script to force the correct behaviour: WRAPPER\_CMD="/opt/elasticsearch/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-x86-32" I also made the corresponding file (/opt/elasticsearch/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-x86-32) executable. This is, obviously, a horrible hack, but it works, and that's the main thing. 😉 Cheers, Doug.
