NethServer Version: 7.9
Module: Elasticsearch

After updating Nextcloud Elasticsearch will not start upon exciting the command " systemctl start elasticsearch" I get the following. " Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status elasticsearch.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details."

““journalctl -xe”” outputs the following

Permission issue on /var/lib/elasticsearch/ or the nodes directory?

Hi Steve

You probably need to uninstall and reinstall the elasticsearch component - versions conflict!

It’s easily done:

/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove ingest-attachment
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-attachment

My 2 cents

Could this be a java permission issue when I ran the command to install ingest-attachment i got the following.
[=================================================] 100%
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Continue with installation? [y/N]y

→ Please restart Elasticsearch to activate any plugins installed

Possible, depending on update level of the individual components…
I’ve had that error too, on occasions, but usually it will run through and the correct version is running later.

Did you already check permissions?

ls -ld /var/lib/elasticsearch

#11

ok I fixed that problem by running the following

yum remove elastisearch
rm -Rf /usr/share/elasticsearch
rm -Rf /var/lib/elasticsearch
yum -y install elasticsearch
systemctl start elasticsearch
systemctl enable elasticsearch

Elasticsearch starts and is now running however when I enter "sudo -u apache /opt/rh/rh-php73/root/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=512M /usr/share/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:index
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
OC\HintException: [0]: Memcache \OC\Memcache\APCu not available for local cache (Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?)
does anybody know a fix for this?

#12

add the apc parameter to the php cli command -d apc.enable_cli=1

sudo -u apache /opt/rh/rh-php73/root/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=512M -d apc.enable_cli=1 /usr/share/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:index
