Hello together, I installed elasticsearch last year to use it with kibana. It always worked fine. When I started elasticsearch.bat in the bin folder I saw it in the windows console and I could start kibana. But now, after I haven't used it for 2 months, it is not starting again. If I try to run elasticsearch.bat nothing is happening. I am using Windows 7 and elasticsearch 1.3.2. I also have java installed. It would be great if somebody can give me a tip what happened. If you need further information please ask. Thank you, Georg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
