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

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: ```auto 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](https://youtu.be/O83aKtv1ZJI?t=388) ---

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 😄
