Permission Denied when exporting

[Mic92]

I got the following error, when start exporting:

[2013-04-25 17:59:09,217][INFO ][rest.action              ] [boston] starting export to entities

To which directory your plugin tries to export the data? I installed the application to /usr/local/elasticsearch:

$ ls -la
insgesamt 48
drwxr-xr-x  6 elasticsearch elasticsearch  4096 Apr 25 17:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root          root           4096 Apr 25 16:02 ..

-rwxr-xr-x  1 elasticsearch elasticsearch  7935 Okt 14  2012 README.textile

The data path is /usr/local/var/data/elasticsearch:

$ ls -la
insgesamt 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Apr 17 22:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root          root          4096 Apr 17 22:15 ..
drwxrwxr-x 3 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Apr 17 22:16 elasticsearch

Thanks in advance

use the target parameter

@timwaters fair enough, but it reports {"ok":true}. It should probably indicate that it couldn't write to the specified directory.

This has been solved in the latest release.

Hi - I am having the same (Permission denied). I am tried the following plugin versions: ./bin/plugin -install knapsack -url http://bit.ly/1f1hk1c ./bin/plugin -install knapsack -url http://bit.ly/1mlzYoB ./bin/plugin -install knapsack -url http://bit.ly/1cMFCX3

And they all experienced the same issue. I used your example for the test: curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/test/_export?path=/tmp/myarchive.zip'

BTW - I am using ES 0.90.10 (and are kind of stuck on it for a while, so I cannot just upgrade to the latest ES because of other dependencies)

Thanks.
