ElasticSearch Plugins: Error "Could not resolve configuration"

Question

I install elasticsearch 1.7.3 on debian jessie. It uses default configuration files and works fine. But when I call sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin , it returns an error:

 Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.env.FailedToResolveConfigException: Failed to resolve config path ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml"], tried file path ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml"], path file ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/config"/"/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml"], and classpath at org.elasticsearch.env.Environment.resolveConfig(Environment.java:291) at org.elasticsearch.node.internal.InternalSettingsPreparer.prepareSettings(InternalSettingsPreparer.java:95) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginManager.main(PluginManager.java:396) 

The file /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml exists and I can open it in nano.

There is a file / etc / default / elasticsearch:

 # Start Elasticsearch automatically START_DAEMON=true # Run Elasticsearch as this user ID and group ID #ES_USER=elasticsearch #ES_GROUP=elasticsearch # Heap Size (defaults to 256m min, 1g max) #ES_HEAP_SIZE=2g # Heap new generation #ES_HEAP_NEWSIZE= # max direct memory #ES_DIRECT_SIZE= # Maximum number of open files, defaults to 65535. #MAX_OPEN_FILES=65535 # Maximum locked memory size. Set to "unlimited" if you use the # bootstrap.mlockall option in elasticsearch.yml. You must also set # ES_HEAP_SIZE. #MAX_LOCKED_MEMORY=unlimited # Maximum number of VMA (Virtual Memory Areas) a process can own #MAX_MAP_COUNT=262144 # Elasticsearch log directory #LOG_DIR=/var/log/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch data directory #DATA_DIR=/var/lib/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch work directory #WORK_DIR=/tmp/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch configuration directory #CONF_DIR=/etc/elasticsearch # Elasticsearch configuration file (elasticsearch.yml) #CONF_FILE=/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml # Additional Java OPTS #ES_JAVA_OPTS= # Configure restart on package upgrade (true, every other setting will lead to not restarting) #RESTART_ON_UPGRADE=true 

There are no entries in the /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.error files.

Does anyone know why a crash can happen?

Answer 1

This is not a question issue. But I solved the problem.

Script in /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin generate the bash command and run it. I edited this file. Instead, she printed this echo command. I copied this command and ran it from the bush terminal. And it worked correctly.

I don’t know why, but it works. Maybe it will be useful for someone.

Answer 2

I am also stuck with the same problem - 2016, September. It turned out that this problem occurs with the old version of resilient search (i.e. 1.7.3), which is in repos for Ubuntu . Use the current one (which is recommended anyway) and you should not get this error.

To set the current one (recording this, this is version 2.4), follow these steps :

 wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb https://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch 

Answer 3

Try this step [work for mine]: 1. run elasticsearch
2. check ps aux | grep elast
3. you will get something like
elastic+ 12723 4.3 25.7 4623016 261176 ?
