Sudo service start throwing error as /home/ec2-user/elasticsearch-7.5.2/bin/elasticsearch: Perm... denied

[sridharspeaks (Sridhar Gudimela)]

I installed elasticsearch 7.5.2 in AWS EC2 linux. I created required file in /etc/init.d/elasticsearch and added elasticsearch and group to this instance. Provided +x permissions to user.

However, when I am trying to do sudo service elasticsearch start and I getting an error that look like below.

Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

You appear to have installed Elasticsearch on a non-standard path (/home/...). Please check if all elements of the/home/ec2-user/elasticsearch-7.5.2/bin/elasticsearch path have the executable bit set. Please also ensure that the /home directory is mounted without the noexec mount option.
