I'm at a bit of a loss here... I have a pretty standard setup of elasticsearch and I'm able to curl/telnet to port 9200 locally, but the connection is refused if accessed from another server. I'm likewise unable to connect to port 9300. For Kibana3 I've also added: http.cors.allow-origin: "\*" http.cors.enabled: true Our servers are on Amazon EC2 but we really don't need all the automated discovery stuff within the EC2 plugin. The ports are open through the security group and there's nothing in IP tables or any other firewalls. I also get slightly different behavior once the ports were open so it feels like the connection is being refused by the server or elasticsearch, itself. Any pointers? Is the EC2 plugin a requirement in this case? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You don't need the plugin, it can make discovery easier though. You haven't bound ES to localhost only have you?

You should bind to 0.0.0.0 not localhost. Then you can hit it remotely. You can also use a reverse-proxy. It is what we do 🙂 On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 6:16 PM, Dave Mittner [dave.mittner@gmail.com](mailto:dave.mittner@gmail.com) wrote: > I'm binding to "localhost"; nothing else seems to work.
