From the terminal, you need to start ElasticSearch:

service elasticsearch start

I have tried it but still no luck
see in the screenshot below.

Verify java is installed with this command at the terminal:

java -version

 

[TJ]

java -version

java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Did your web host install ElasticSearch? If so ask them to check why it's not starting.

Actaully I am on VPS. I change nothing in these days on my server. I will check elasticsearch on server and update
