Long story short: a system reboot might get it OK.

It has been a while since the question is asked. Anyway, I ran into a similar problem recently.

The elasticsearch service on one of my nodes died, with error saying similar to those posted in the question when restart the service. It says the log folder to write is read-only file system. But these files and directories are indeed owned by user elasticsearch (version 5.5, deployed on Cent OS 6.5), there should not be a read-only problem.

I checked and didn't find a clue. So, I just reboot the system. After rebooting, everything goes all right without any further tuning: elasticsearch service starts on boot as configured, it finds the cluster and all the other nodes, and the cluster health status turns green after a little while.

I guess, the root reason might be some hardware failure in my case. All data and logs managed by elasticsearch cluster are stored in a 2TB SSD driver mounted on each node. And our hardware team just managed to recover from an external storage failure recently. All the nodes restarted during that recovery. Chances are there are some lagged issues caused the problem.

Usually it's the write permission issue for the log directory (default as /var/log/elasticsearch), use ls -l to check the permission and change mode to 777 for the log directory and files if necessary.

This is the error for the PATH and LOgs in the elasticsearch.yml (etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml)

Uncheck these path and your error will be removed.

check if Elasticsearch is running,run the follwing command:

$ ps aux|grep elasticsearch

if Elasticsearch is not started,check your JAVA Environment，download a new Elasticsearch and install it again:

1.check if JAVA is correctly installed：

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)

if your JAVA version is lower 1.7,change a new one.

2.download Elasticsearch install package,unzip it:

$ tar -zxvf elasticsearch-2.3.3.gz

3. run Elasticsearch

$ cd elasticsearch-2.3.3
$ ./bin/elasticsearch

That means elasticsearch is not running. And from what I see, there is a problem with starting it. Check your elasticsearch configuration.
