Unable to search in bitbucket hosted but there is no elasticsearch installe

[apollopt1]

Hello,

We have a bitbucket hosted server v6.6.1, where we are unable to search anything on it, we receive a message saying:

Bitbucket Server Code Search is unable to find results from some or all repositories

And after checking documentation at atlassian, I notice that I have lots of elasticsearch connection atempts:

2020-10-21 23:47:58,107 INFO [Caesium-1-4] c.a.b.i.s.i.jobs.StartupChecksJob Running startup jobs for search
2020-10-21 23:47:58,108 WARN [Caesium-1-4] c.a.b.i.s.i.IndexingSynchronizationService Unable to establish a connection to Elasticsearch during index synchronisation.
2020-10-21 23:47:58,109 WARN [Caesium-1-4] c.a.b.i.s.c.cluster.ClusterJobRunner Job execution failed. Rescheduling. Job key: com.atlassian.bitbucket.internal.search.indexing.jobs.StartupChecksJob Job id: 0ee5718c-ac1b-42fe-86c0-5012635167d3 

But we dont have any elasticsearch running, or even ever had elasticsearch configurated before.

I have even netstat on this server machine and that port 7992 have no service running as expected, so I was unable to use those curl commands at 7992.

As a work around I have also tried "restart indexing" step, but there was no difference on frontend.

At <BitbucketHome>/shared/search/bucker/buckler.yml I have a default login there.

On frontend troubleshooting and support tools, in System Information, I have also this:

Elasticsearch

base-url: http://localhost:7992/

connection-result: CONNECTION_ERROR

In Server Settings, I have the base-url setup, and cannot remove it:

Anyone knows, how can it be possible to bypass that error?

A couple things could be causing this.

First make sure you are not starting bitbucket as root. Instead you'll want to use a dedicated bitbucket user.

This document can help you troubleshoot elasticsearch issues: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/troubleshooting-connection-issues-for-elasticsearch-826900037.html

Last tip that I have is to make sure that you are starting bitbucket using the correct script. You'll want to make sure that you use the /bin/start-bitbucket.sh file, because this file starts both bitbucket and elasticsearch.
