ElasticSearch failing to start

[czerasz]

I have a problem with the es service wrapper.

First it was not working when I tried to install it:

/etc/init.d $ ./elasticsearch install
Unable to locate any of the following binaries:
  /home/user_name/elasticsearch-0.90.2/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-intel(r)xeon(r)[email protected]
  /home/user_name/elasticsearch-0.90.2/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-intel(r)xeon(r)[email protected]
  /home/user_name/elasticsearch-0.90.2/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch

It was due to this line.
I had to change it to (btw I use gentoo):

DIST_ARCH=`uname -m 2>/dev/null | $TREXE "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | $TREXE -d ' '`

And it installed successfully.

But when I try to run it. I get the following:

/etc/init.d $ ./elasticsearch start
Starting ElasticSearch...
Waiting for ElasticSearch......................
WARNING: ElasticSearch may have failed to start.

The service.log shows the following:

~/elasticsearch-0.90.2 $ tail -n0 -f logs/service.log
