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

[philmckrackon]

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.

The same thing happened to me when updating ES 8. In Debian 12. In the end I uninstalled ES 8 and installed ES 7.

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