# config dir
#/etc/elasticsearch
# prepare ElasticSearch UI
#sudo apt-get install apache2
#sudo mkdir /var/www/ui
#sudo chown -R ubuntu.www-data /var/www
# now copy ES-HEAD to /var/www/ui
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["xy2.compute.amazonaws.com"]
# and on other node use:

Elasticsearch v1.4.4 wouldn't load on OpenJDK 6. I fixed it as follows:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
rm /etc/alternatives/java
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java /etc/alternatives/java

If you haven't already installed OpenJDK 6, you could probably just apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk.

I also ended up using the repo as per http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/setup-repositories.html

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk -> Why install the jdk? Why not the jre? (the headless version?) You're installing to a server right?
I'd install openjdk6-jre-headless and I'm pretty sure it would work just fine. (With way lesser dependencies).
