Hi, currently use these versions **Elasticsearch 7.2.0** : **APM Server 7.2.0** : After installing APM-server inside the same pod where elasticsearch is located, I was trying to start apm-server. But got the next error -\> ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/2/b2ff884637266cf5cd03f7128446dab1cb354307.png) How can I fix it? Thanks. ---

My pod is located in Azure via AKS. So I've installed APM server in elasticsearch pod according to this guide -\> ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/4/d43e1405ec29ae8f67fc1f1bfda74b7156aff946.png) But no 'service apm-server start' command neither 'sudo -u apm-server apm-server [\]' ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/apm-server-starting.html#running-deb-rpm](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/apm-server-starting.html#running-deb-rpm)) don't work for me. It looks like I need some additional step. ---

My resolution was next: 1. check OS via 'cat /etc/os-release' command. In my case I have Centos. 2. sudo was not installed, so I ran 'su -' firstly then 'yum install sudo' 3. 'sudo -u apm-server apm-server' After I checked APM server status via Kibana page -\> ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/b/db36ecb893e76f0014c0ce8faf09507f7fdccc47.png) ---

Happy to hear you found a solution. You might also be interested in looking into [Running APM Server on ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/0.9/k8s-apm-server.html). It is only in _alpha_ and not GA yet, but might be interesting to follow along. ---
