Re: Installation instructions

2014-11-10 Thread Jem indig 
ok - and when it runs as a daemon/service it runs as the elasticsearch user.

When I installed it, using yum, I used sudo yum install elasticsearch which
means that root owns the files. I guess this is standard?

2. If I want it to run interactively should I sudo and run it?

Sorry for the dumb quesitons - linux skills are very rusty

Cheers,
J

Hi,
ah gotcha!.
cool - assume there are no hartdcoded passwords anywhere and I can just set
the password as I see fit?

Don't suppose you have any links to documentation for how the setup looks,
best practices etc?

Cheers,
J
