Soumitra Dutta-How do I fix “start operation timed out” in OpenSearch?

Hi, I’m Soumitra Dutta, an entrepreneur and photographer living in Oxford. I’m currently facing an issue where OpenSearch fails to start and shows the error “start operation timed out.” I’ve tried restarting the service and checking some basic settings, but the problem still persists.

Has anyone here experienced this issue before? I would really appreciate any suggestions on what might be causing it or how I can troubleshoot it further.

Regards

Soumitra Dutta
