Elasticsearch 7 + Almalinux 9 Error

[HappyWorld]

Hi

I'm trying to install & run elasticsearch 7 on almalinux 9, but i got an error

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.17.23-x86_64.rpm
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.17.23-x86_64.rpm.sha512
shasum -a 512 -c elasticsearch-7.17.23-x86_64.rpm.sha512
sudo rpm --install elasticsearch-7.17.23-x86_64.rpm

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

Then got error

Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xeu elasticsearch.service" for details.

My system still has plenty CPU & free memory.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Although this is for ES8, most will be the same:

ES 2.2 Post in thread 'Elasticsearch Version: 8.0.0'

Aug 31, 2024

Here are my own notes for migrating to XF 2.3 (tested multiple times). This is for Alma/Rocky Linux 9 btw but should work on any distro with some minor changes:

rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
[elasticsearch]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 8.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md

yum -y install java-11-openjdk
yum update
yum makecache
yum install elasticsearch -y

nano...
