Cannot install elasticsearch service on Windows 2012 R2 server #20899
Description
Elasticsearch version: 5.0.0-rc1
Plugins installed: none
JVM version: jdk1.8.0_101
OS version: Windows 2012 R2 64-bit
Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
Cannot install the service.
- I have the following environment variables set:
- JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101
- ES_HEAP_SIZE: 8g
- I have verified that jvm.options have the following lines commented out:
## -Xms8g
## -Xmx8g
I run the following: .\elasticsearch-service.bat install elasticsearch-5.0.0-rc1
I get the following output:
Error: encountered environment variables that are no longer supported
Use jvm.options or ES_JAVA_OPTS to configure the JVM
ES_HEAP_SIZE=8g: set -Xms8g and -Xmx8g in jvm.options or add "-Xms8g -Xmx8g" to ES_JAVA_OPTS
I delete ES_HEAP_SIZE and add ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms8g and -Xmx8g" (without quotes)
I run the command again and get the following:
Installing service : "elasticsearch-5.0.0-rc1"
Using JAVA_HOME (64-bit): "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101"
thread stack size not set; configure via C:\elasticsearch-5.0.0-rc1\config\jvm.options or ES_JAVA_OPTS
I delete ES_JAVA_OPTS and edit jvm.options:
-Xms8g
-Xmx8g
Run again and get the following:
Installing service : "elasticsearch-5.0.0-rc1"
Using JAVA_HOME (64-bit): "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101"
thread stack size not set; configure via C:\elasticsearch-5.0.0-rc1\config\jvm.options or ES_JAVA_OPTS
I leave jvm.options alone and create ES_JAVA_OPTS again. Now it see duplicate settings:
Installing service : "elasticsearch-5.0.0-rc1"
Using JAVA_HOME (64-bit): "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101"
duplicate min heap size settings found
