Hi,

Following this document [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/modules-scripting.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/modules-scripting.html)  
I added the following lines to the end of the config/elasticsearch.yml file.

script.inline: true  
script.indexed: true

When restarting ES it fails to start.

Why ?

Thanks

On my windows version of ES the error log is:

Works now.

The reason it didn't work is that all configurations in the YML file should start with a space of one letter.
