Setting default path: log and data doesnt work

[atom (Ammo)]

Hi,

i am currently in the upgrade process of Elasticsearch 5.6 to version 6.x
Cluster Checkup found some errors. One of them was:

Default path settings are removed
This issue must be resolved to upgrade. Read Documentation

I added these lines in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml:

path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

But i have still the same error. I restartet elasticsearch and kibana twice and the whole server but still the same error.

Any idea why this is still showing up?

Regards,
Ahmet

EDIT: Do i have to set those paths also in kibana?

@atom

/etc/elasticsearch/elasticserach.yml

It looks like an incorrect file name. elasticserach.yml instead of elasticsearch.yml. Is this a cut and paste error or a typo?

typo. my fault :-S
The file i edited was the correct one

[Christian_Dahlqvist]

Can you show us the full error from the logs and your Elasticsearch config?

Hi Christian.

Thank you anyway
