I installed Bigdesk for elasticsearch 2.4.0 manually, creating \_site directory and adding plugin-descriptor.properties accordingly. When I start all nodes on my elasticsearch I have the evidence about bigdesk in logs: 2016-10-10 11:11:20,533][INFO][node] [node\_2] initializing ...  
[2016-10-10 11:11:21,582][INFO][plugins] [node\_2] modules [reindex, lang-expression, lang-groovy], plugins [bigdesk, head, repository-hdfs], sites [head, bigdesk]  
But when I access it from my browser it doesn't display anything, just the header with connect option and elasticsearch url. What can be the possible reasons for that?
