Unable to start elasticsearch

I'm a newbie in computer science so I will need a very exact guidance. I tried to reinstall it few times. I tried to find similar problems on the internet, but I don't understand what they are talking about and I wasn't able to find the problem the same as mine, It doesn't work. Please help. I have so many errors occurring! Have no idea what to do

It looks like you defined custom location for the Elasticsearch files (data, logs, etc):

C:\Program Files\es\data

C:\Program Files\es\logs

However, Elasticsearch does not have enough privileges to access/create files in there (I am cherry picking the lines from your stack trace):

[2018-02-19T05:51:09,241][WARN ][o.e.b.ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler] []
 uncaught exception in thread [main]
org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: U
nable to access 'path.data' (C:\Program Files\es\data)

2018-02-19 05:51:07,650 main ERROR Unable to create file C:\Program Files\es\log
s\elasticsearch_index_indexing_slowlog.log java.io.IOException: Permission denial
        at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)

Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Program Files\es\data

This can indeed happen because C:\Program Files\ is a system directory and requires privileged access.

Here are few options you may try, after removing current installation:

  • Install again using all default parameters (using this manual Install Elasticsearch with Windows MSI Installer, by default it runs Elasticsearch under Local System account, which is supposed to have privileged access)

  • Install again specifying a different directory for Elasticsearch data/logs/etc (such as your user account is able to access this directory, in this case you may run Elasticsearch under your user account, like C:\my-elasticsearch\)

  • Delete previous installation and try installing from zip again, like is defined in this manual: Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windowsedit , again using a directory which your user account can fully access.

.zip installation should be straightforward:

  • download .zip
  • unzip
  • run .\bin\elasticsearch.bat

The reason why .zip installation might not work is probably that MSI installation has overridden the %ES_HOME% variable and now any Elasticsearch installation uses the damaged configuration.

Hope that helps!
