Windows ES Errors on 5.3.1 update to 5.4.0

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am doing my first version update on ES and am not able to start Elasticsearch after moving the new 5.4.0 files into my ES directory. I downloaded the new zip file, moved everything except the config folder to my ES directory, and when I run elasticsearch.bat, I get the error below. Am I doing something wrong on the update? Anyone else having this issue?

When you moved your files you probably merged 5.3 and 5.4 lib dir.

A better process could be:

  • unzip
  • mv old/config/* new/config
  • mv old/data new

Then launch

That was it, rookie mistake on my part. Thanks for the advice!
