Fixing “etc sysconfig elasticsearch permission denied” Error

When the error “permission denied” occurs in the context of /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch, it usually means that the process or user trying to view or edit the Elasticsearch settings file is not allowed to do so. Some of the reasons along with the solutions are provided below:

1. It’s possible that the person trying to see or edit the /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch file doesn’t have the rights. Verify that the user is genuine to read and write to the file.

2. It is possible that another person or group owns the file, preventing other users from accessing it. So, use the ls -l tool to find out the file’s ownership. The chown command can be used to alter the ownership of a file if it is owned by a different user or group.

3. File locks or permissions may prevent us from making changes to the settings file while Elasticsearch is working. So, before changing the config file, stop the service. We can obtain this by using the OS-specific service management code.

4. It’s possible that security modules like AppArmor or SELinux are blocking access to the file. In order to grant access to the file, verify SELinux or AppArmor’s state and modify the policies as necessary.
