I just installed ElasticSearch 5.6.4 from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch via DEB (I use Debian 9) package using these commands:

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-5.6.4.deb
dpkg -i elasticsearch-5.6.4.deb
apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless
update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults 95 10
service elasticsearch start

But ElasticSearch won't start, this is log:

● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch

But it doesn't say anything useful.

In config file I just changed this:

network.host: 51.15.212.76
http.port: 9200
cluster.name: elasticsearch
node.name: "db-master"
node.master: true
node.data: true

UPDATE:

I just used default settings and it works, problem is here:

Caused by: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address

Why? I am using my IP adress (I copied it). I don't want to bind it to localhost, because I want to be able to connect it from different machine.

  • You tried start Elasticsearch with default elasticsearch.yml parameters? You saw if there are any errors on /var/log/elasticsearch log file? Please confirm Java version used by Elasticsearch on /var/log/elasticsearch.log file. I just installed the same Elasticsearch version on my Ubuntu LTS 16 with the following Java version and worked fine for me. > JVM[Oracle Corporation/Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server > VM/1.8.0_144/25.144-b01]

The issue is you don't have 51.15.212.76 on your server. Your provider might map 51.15.212.76 -> 10.5.85.149

So try this instead

network.host: 10.5.85.149

Or better to bind to all interfaces

network.host: 0.0.0.0

I saw your update. You cannot use this configuration:

network.host: 51.15.212.76

because you have no network interface with this ip address.

You could use this 10.5.85.149 from eth0, for example.

You need to change from 

network.host: 51.15.212.76

to

network.host: 0.0.0.0

And also add the following configuration in the elasticsearch.yml file

transport.host: localhost
transport.tcp.port: 9300
