Weird thing is that fess works from zip package without problems but not from rpm installation.

Attached are logs:
fess.log
server_0.log

Did you check elasticsearch.log?

You seem to change ES_TRANSPORT_URL or fess.es.transport_addresses in config files.
It might be better to reinstall Fess.

  1. rpm -e fess
  2. rm -rf /etc/fess /usr/share/fess /var/lib/fess /var/log/fess
  3. rpm -ivh fess*.rpm
  4. systemctl start fess

It’s better also to reinstall elasticsearch if it does not work yet…

Hi,
I have now also tried reinstall elasticsearch multiple times.
But still with same problems.

Did you remove /var/lib/elasticsearch and /etc/elasticsearch before installing elasticsearch?

Problem seemed to be that our elasticsearch was installed with ansible and using project: https://github.com/elastic/ansible-elasticsearch
When we did basic elasticsearch installation from rpm fess works.
