Question

I’ve followed the simple tutorial to install elastic-search on a clean debian lenny machine:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2010/07/02/setting-up-elasticsearch-on-debian.html

However, when trying to create index with mapping:

curl -XPUT "localhost:9200/searchdata" -d @index.json

I get this error:

{"error":"MasterNotDiscoveredException[]","status":500}

I’ve used the index.json on another instance of ES, so I know that it works. I’m assuming I’m missing something the the ES config file. currently I have this:

cluster:
  name:   MyCluster

network:
  host:   _eth0_

As docs are pretty scarce for ES, I thought I’d see if anyone can lead me to a solution. Thanks in advance.

Not sure the issue, but a clean install of the OS fixed it.
