When I open Kibana by searching for my IP in my browser, I get the  
following 2 errors. Would anyone happen to have any advice on how to fix  
these errors? I already updated Elasticsearch to its latest version  
(elasticsearch-1.4.2, kibana-4.0.1-linux-x64, logstash-1.4.2):

_- Upgrade Required_ Your version of Elasticsearch is too old. Kibana  
requires Elasticsearch 0.90.9 or above.

_- Error_ Could not reach [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes](http://localhost:9200/_nodes). If you are using a  
proxy, ensure it is configured correctly

It'd because you are using the node protocol with LS, change to the http  
protocol and you will be ok. See

Thanks for the advice. I think that should do the trick but I cannot figure  
out how to change to the http protocol. I looked on the link you attached  
and online. Would you happen to know how to go about changing to the http  
protocol?  
Thank you so much

(1.4.2 isn't the latest version of Elasticsearch, not even in  
the 1.4.x series.)

Are you _sure_ this is Kibana 4? AFAIK that error message only exists in  
Kibana 3

Oh, and if it indeed is Kibana 3 I responded to the same question on  
logstash-users yesterday.

[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/logstash-users/rFtu\_WBK3Hk/TwNbAFuV0J0J](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/logstash-users/rFtu_WBK3Hk/TwNbAFuV0J0J)

Please don't post the same question to multiple lists.
