Sorry for the inconvenience. Here is a workaround: - create a folder $ES\_HOME/plugins/jdbc - download JDBC version 2.2.0 zip from [http://bit.ly/145e9Ly](http://bit.ly/145e9Ly) - unzip the zip - move the file in the zip named elasticsearch-river-jdbc-2.2.0.jar into $ES\_HOME/plugins/jdbc (ignore the other cruft in the zip) - copy your JDBC driver jar also into $ES\_HOME/plugins/jdbc Best, Jörg Am 15.07.13 20:59, schrieb [signin.vasanth@gmail.com](mailto:signin.vasanth@gmail.com): > Hi All, > > I was unable to instal the river-jdbc using command prompt in windows > OS.Pls find the enclosed bug details, > Plugin installation assumed to be site plugin, but contains source > code, abortin g installation... > Kindly give the solutions asap -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Christian\_Th, Even I have downloaded the jdbc-river plugin and manually created a folder (jdbc) in elasticsearch plugins folder, but its not working for me, may i know which version of Elasticsearch and which jdbc river plugin version that you are using? Thanks ---
