Can not start the "Search-Server"

I had this issue also. The problem is when you installed Appian, the folders were created as root user. However, elastic search does not allow root user to start the service so you get this message. But then if you try to switch to a different user, you will likely get permission denied errors.

You have to change the ownership of the folder to whichever non-root user you have created and plan to use. So the command would be

chown -R <non_root_username> /<Appian_home>/appian/search-server
