Hi,
we are currently testing Zammad. I have invited users to the basic setup due to a problem with the mail server, unfortunately no mails were sent.
Forgot password, we sent the mails again and the users could log in to the system.
My problem now is that the user administration is empty.
Can anyone tell me why I don’t see any users in the user administration?
Zammad from package installation on ubuntu 18.04
Thanks
Classical issue… your elasticsearch is either not running,r not cleanly configured or your searchindex is not built / broken / whatever.
Please take a look into the docs to solve this issue:
https://docs.zammad.org/en/latest/install-elasticsearch.html
i`ve do it like the documentation.
Here is my terminal log.

It is the permission problem? How you can see i do it like the documentation.
Thanks
Did you reload the page or change to e.g. Groups and Back to User?
Should work just fine.
If not, please ensure that there are no errors in your production log.
Oh… and maybe use the template that you removed to provide further information.

What is with the permission error from the installation log? Can I ignore that?
Thanks
In my case the problem is the current Elasticseach version 7.5.0. If I use 7.5.0 or 7.4.2, I don’t see any users. But if I use 7.3.0, everything is fine.
I am a newbie in ubuntu and zammad. How i can change the Elasticsearch version?
No you can’t.
Seems like something changed with Elasticsearch 7.5.
Sorry, but this is out of scope for me/us.
This has nothing to do with Zammad, but is an Elasticsearch related issue.
That should help How to downgrade ES
But remember to change the version. Ubuntu uses apt-get. So you need to enter the following in the console:
sudo apt-get install elasticsearch=7.3.0
Can you help me again?
i do sudo apt-get install elasticsearch=7.3.0
Rebuild the index and restart elastic but it doesn`t work
Can you give me the commands I need to execute to properly downgrade it?
Use apt list elasticsearch to see the installed version.
If you like to see all versions of the package available on the repository use
apt list elasticsearch -a
The first entry is the installed version.
root@localhost:~# apt list elasticsearch
Listing… Done
elasticsearch/stable 7.5.0 amd64 [upgradable from: 7.3.0]
N: There are 12 additional versions. Please use the ‘-a’ switch to see them.

What i need to do?
Can you restart the server once and check if elasticsearch starts properly?
No users to see 
In the Zammad Monitoring i see this:

It seems to be the Service is directly stopped after start.
We had the same problem after the downgrade. ES did not start. Since we had a snapshot (virtual machine) from before installing ES 7.5.0, we could go back there for the sake of simplicity. Then we installed ES directly in version 7.3.0, not downgraded from 7.5.0. That worked then. So I would deinstall ES completely in your place and then reinstall it directly with version 7.3.0. Maybe this will work. If not, I have unfortunately also no more idea.
Uninstall:
sudo apt-get remove elasticsearch
That command keeps your elasticsearch settings, so I think that is not optimal.
sudo apt-get purge elasticsearch
That command removes elasticsearch and all settings.
Good luck!
In need help again.
I ty to installation Version 7.3.0 and i use this installation documentation
apt-get install apt-transport-https sudo wget
echo “deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list
wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install openjdk-8-jre elasticsearch
sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-attachment
systemctl restart elasticsearch
systemctl enable elasticsearch
I change the 7.x to 7.3.0 but it doesn`t work.
Can anyone give me please this documentation for version 7.3?
Thanks!

I think that is to complicated.
Why you don’t use
sudo apt-get install elasticsearch=7.3.0
after
sudo apt-get remove elasticsearch
or
sudo apt-get purge elasticsearch
?
I think you don’t need to download it. And why do you install openjdk? It should be there before.
Hey,
thanks. This case can be close.
With your last post i found my mistage.
Thanks!
cool, I’m glad to hear that!
