Hello all,
i need help getting elasticsearch 5.6.16 with openjdk11-11.0.21_9 installed on Slackware64 15.0.
it started with the slackbuild and running it, it build, it installed, it starts with a java error referring to an empty transport type in between the [ ].

Code:

Unsupported transport.type []

i have tried to follow the documentation here :
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elas...-settings.html

thanks

I think that would be a question for the Elastic forum:

https://discuss.elastic.co/

yes the discuss.elastic.co was read, but it took me time to find something relevant to the issue.
https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic...ot-start/75156

the slackbuild had to be modified to add a modules/ and plugins/ directory which i didn't identify at first in the elasticsearch tar.gz 5.6.16 release file.

Code:

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/$PRGNAM/modules
cp -r modules/* $PKG/usr/share/$PRGNAM/modules
mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/$PRGNAM/plugins

and in the rc.elasticsearch file reduce the DAEMON_OPTS line.

Code:

existing
DAEMON_OPTS="-d -p $PID_FILE --default.config=$CONF_FILE --default.path.home=$ES_HOME --default.path.logs=$LOG_DIR --default.path.data=$DATA_DIR --default.path.work=$WORK_DIR --default.path.conf=$CONF_DIR"

modified
DAEMON_OPTS="-d -p $PID_FILE -Epath.conf=$CONF_DIR"

the slackbuild maintainer uses docker images so will see if the changes can go on the slackbuilds website. not a programmer here.
