Unable to run "bin/magento setup:upgrade" because of elasticsearch error

[Astergios]

Hi all,
I have migrate Magento 2.4.6 from a Plesk server to an other Plesk via plesk migration tool. 

When i try to run "php bin/magento setup:upgrade" i have the error:
Could not validate a connection to Elasticsearch. No alive nodes found in your cluster

On "systemctl status elasticsearch" on console i have the follow:

[root@unruffled-raman ~]# systemctl status elasticsearch
● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service; enabled; pre>

Elasticsearch its running.
Any idea?

Hi @Astergios ,

When Magento can’t see Elasticsearch you’ll continue to get error even though the service is running under systemd.

Have you tried below?

curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9200/

You can replace 127.0.0.1 with elasticsearch host and 9200 with port on which elasticsearch is running.

You should get back something like HTTP/1.1 200 OK (or at least a JSON payload with your cluster name).

Recent elasticsearch installs default to enabled security. If you see prompts for username/password on a raw curl http://…:9200, you’ll need to add these creds into database as well.

Problem Solved? Accept as Solution!

Thanks

Hi again, the solution was to uninstall elasticsearch 8 and install elasticsearch 7, for my magento 2.4.6
