To fix this, edit file
vi /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch
At end of the file, add
ES_TMPDIR=/var/log/elasticsearch
Now elasticsearch will start
systemctl start elasticsearch
Verify service is running with
systemctl status elasticsearch
To confirm elasticsearch is running, use command
curl localhost:9200
See elasticsearch
I fix for me, thanks!
Legend, thank you !
Thanks man!
