ubuntu don't allow other users admins write /var/run , happen reasons.

has can notice elasticsearch launched "elasticsearch" user elasticsearch creates on install:

sudo -u elasticsearch....

so instead of change /var/run permissions users or try give admin permissions elasticsearch user believe best solution created new folder inside /var/run folder

sudo mkdir /var/run/elasticsearch/ 

and give elasticsearch user permissions it

sudo chown elasticsearch:elasticsearch /var/run/elasticsearch  

after need change elasticsearch init script write pid file new folder

sudo vim /etc/init.d/elasticsearch  

updating property pid_file to

pid_file=/var/run/elasticsearch/$name.pid 

this has worked me. hope works ;)
