[HappyWorld]

This is tutorial for upgrading elasticsearch 7.* on centos, WHM.

If I am missing something, please post here.

Getting started with the Elastic Stack | Getting Started [7.17] | Elastic

www.elastic.co

I tried to upgrade from 7.5.* to latest version at this moment (7.17.19) in WHM, using rpm

This is what i did

1. Download latest version at this moment which is 7.17.19

   curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.17.19-x86_64.rpm

2. Stop the old one

   sudo service elasticsearch stop

3. Upgrade

   sudo rpm -Uvh elasticsearch-7.17.19-x86_64.rpm

4. Restart the elasticsearch

   systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo service elasticsearch start

5. Verify the latest version is installed

   curl -X GET "localhost:9200"

(tested with XenForo Enhanced Search 2.2.2)
