Unable to start elasticsearch 7.11.0

anandgavai · February 23, 2023, 3:44pm

Hi there,
am getting an ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler error and not able to start elasticsearch. All I know was there was there was an abrupt shutdown of my server and since then am not able to start the elasticsearch node. The log files are below

This indicates that you (or something on your system) has modified the contents of /lib/, breaking this installation. It's probably best to do a clean reinstall.

anandgavai · February 24, 2023, 2:07pm

Thanks @DavidTurner. Actually I did try to setup another installation when I moved to my data and config directory back to the this new installation the new installation is still not able to start elasticsearch ? Any leads would really help in me getting this data back ?

DavidTurner · February 24, 2023, 2:27pm

If you are getting this error on a fresh installation then there is something very wrong with your system or the installation process you're using.
