Elasticsearch won't start on Ubuntu 16.04?

I'm working on Ubuntu 16.04 and installed Elastic Search from https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/deb.html and now after starting it didn't result any log whether it started or not.Then I entered command sudo service elasticsearch status

● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service; enabled; vendo
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2017-02-20 12:56:37 IST; 2s ago
     Docs: http://www.elastic.co

  Process: 26950 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-systemd

Feb 20 12:56:37 saikiran-ubuntu systemd[1]: elasticsearch.service: Failed with r

I tried some solutions on stackoverflow including this sudo chown -R elasticsearch:elasticsearch /var/lib/elasticsearch/ and even tried restarting the service, but nothing worked. Even this fix https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/10671 didn't work.

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

I was getting similar problem, and in my case I have installed elastic search version 7.5.1 on Ubuntu and finally installed successfully and running.

As per this, try setting

START_DAEMON to true on /etc/default/elasticsearch

This worked for me.

I think you don't have java installed/ recognized. Try this to install Oracle's java:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

test:

java -version

then run the ES service:

sudo service elasticsearch start

everything should work now
