I installed Elasticsearch on AWS EC2 instance and then I installed app-search on a local Linux box and I can connect and run it fine. Now I want to put app-search on a new AWS EC2 and connect to it remotely for the admins in my office. When I install app-search on AWS I can curl port localhost:3002 and get a response but I can't connect to it remotely using the IP address. So I cangee app-search.yml so to use my AWS public IP address and now it errors out. Any ideas on the best way to configure it so I can connect to app-search remotely? Here is my app-search.yml settings: ```auto allow_es_settings_modification: true elasticsearch.host: http://99.99.99.99:9200 #AWS ElasticSearch public IP elasticsearch.ssl.enabled: false #works if I just do localhost:3002 #app_search.listen_host: 127.0.0.0 #using AWS app-search public IP causes bin/app-search to crash app_search.listen_host: 99.99.99.99 app_search.listen_port: 3002 ``` Thanks, Brian ---
