Tutorials Elasticsearch 8.x compatibility fix

[XFModz]

After installing Elasticsearch 8.x, it will not connect to xenForo Enhanced Search (xfES). Why? Because the latest Elasticsearch includes new security features incompatible with xfES.

Step 1 #nano /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
replace

xpack.security.enabled: true

with

xpack.security.enabled: false

Step 2 #systemctl restart elasticsearch.

Step 3 Check the now working connection with #curl localhost:9200
