elasticsearch changing path.logs and/or path.data - fails to start
<p>Here's my config</p>

<pre><code># ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /mulelogs/elasticsearch
path.logs: /mulelogs/elasticsearch
</code></pre>

<p>When I restart ElasticSearch this is what I get:</p>

<p>The path is an attached volume which is accessible via <strong>/mulelogs/</strong></p>

<p>I tried chown and chmod just to see if the permission is the problem, but it still didn't work.</p>

<p>How do I fix this?</p>

<p>Thanks in ad</p>
