Elasticsearch 8.14

[MattW]

Woke up this morning to see all my Elasticsearch instances down from overnight, as they have released 8.14 and cPanel automatically upgraded them.

On my cPanel servers running Cloudlinux, I've had to run the following to get ES to start up

setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/redis/
setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/redis/modules/
setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir

You also can't downgrade back to 8.13 either

java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot downgrade a node from version [8.14.0] to version [8.13.4]

I have same problem but can't start Elasticsearch using your command. I am using AlmaLinux v9 with cPanel.

You need to look at your logs then to see if there are any other errors. Cloudlinux9 with cPanel is what I'm running and was fixed with those commands.

yeah, also had this issue yesterday on Cloudlinux 8.9. I had to change a folder permission and it worked (upgrading to 8.14)

 

[Nirjonadda]

What folders permissions? Please let me know this folders location.

I posted this here yesterday.
You have to remove then reinstall. yum install -y --enablerepo=elasticsearch elasticsearch-8.13.4

ES 2.2 Thread 'Information: Almalinux 8.10 ES 8.14 won't start service'

Jun 6, 2024

Running Almalinux 8.09 and then updated to 8.10. ES was 8.13.4 but auto updated to 8.14 overnight.
Service would not start. No info in systemctl status elasticsearch or journalctl -u elasticsearch.service
Rolled back to ES 8.13.4 no problems.. yum install -y --enablerepo=elasticsearch elasticsearch-8.13.4
Looking at ES 8.14 release notes now.

Same here, in my case there were additional directories I was getting AccessDeniedException errors, so I had to do: setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/redis setfacl -m u:elasticsearch:rx /usr/lib64/redis/modules...
