Startup service appears to be running, but process doesn't spawn

I am setting up ElasticSearch on a Ubuntu VM and am running into some issues when settings it up to be a startup daemon. I have ES running just fine, I can run the server by going sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch. This runs the server and I can curl localhost:9200 just fine.


I then used this guide to set up a startup service. The problem is after doing everything they said:


sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults 95 10


sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start


I can see the service appears to be running just fine by running sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch status (or just service elasticsearch works as well), however a top or another curl localhost:9200 shows the server as not being spun up.


Furthermore, I can see the output to the start command shows everything ran fine without any error.. The start-stop-daemon command returned 0 (which is success) as if nothing went wrong...


I am fairly new to this, so I am not sure what to try next or where to look for a bad configuration. Any one have any ideas? Thanks
