Description Alessandro Barbieri 2021-03-25 01:28:06 UTC

systemctl start elasticsearch.service fails and gives the error
elasticsearch-systemd-pre-exec[4614]: could not find java in bundled jdk at /usr/share/elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java

/usr/share/elasticsearch/ doesn't contain any folder jdk

Comment 1 Andrew Udvare 2021-08-20 23:21:14 UTC

Workaround on systemd:

Install OpenJDK 11 then in /etc/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service.d/java.conf , put the correct JAVA_HOME (ES_JAVA_HOME is preferred by Elasticsearch):

[Service]
Environment="ES_JAVA_HOME=/opt/openjdk-bin-11"

In /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options , comment out the Xlog line around line ~92. Otherwise ES will not start.

Then run `systemctl daemon-reload` and start the service.
