I tried to try to give more permissions to read and write for the following file /var/log/opensearch/opensearch.log but every time I get the same error.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable opensearch.service
Synchronizing state of opensearch.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.

Hey @KamiKaramazov

What does journalctl -xeu opensearch.service show?

You may need to scroll up on journalctl. Looks like the tail end of the log. If you could show any configurations that would help. How did you install opensearch?

Those are the command I used to install opensearch:

wget --inet4-only https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/2.5.0/opensearch-2.5.0-linux-x64.deb

sudo dpkg -i opensearch-2.5.0-linux-x64.deb

sudo nano /etc/opensearch/opensearch.yml

action.auto_create_index: false
plugins.security.disable: true

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable opensearch.service
sudo systemctl start opensearch
sudo systemctl status opensearch

Also I followed this video : https://youtu.be/O83aKtv1ZJI?t=388

It should be

plugins.security.disabled: true

Thanks for help! Following your solution, it got fixed. I really don’t understand how I missed something like that. From now on, I’ll pay attention to everything I write :smile:
