But ` curl http://localhost:5601 `gives curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5601: Connection refused In kibana.yml file I put **server.port: 5601** **server.host: "127.0.0.1"** Here I also checked with localhost and aws private ip address. And while checking the port I am getting `netstat -anp | grep 5601` **(No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=1000 but you should be root.)** I can start kibana using `sudo service kibana start` But while checking status using `sudo service kibana status` **kibana is not running** I haven't setup firewall . `sudo ufw status` Status : Inactive I am confused, why kibana port is not listening. Please help me to solve this. ---

Based on the article it looks like it assumes Nginx is used as a proxy in front of Kibana, listening to port 80. Can you connect to port 80? ---

Its running now. When I checked kibana log (`vi /var/log/kibana/kibana.stderr`) Error: EACCES, permission denied '/opt/kibana/optimize/.babelcache.json' So I changed permission of .babelcache.json `sudo chown -R kibana:root /opt/kibana/optimize/.babelcache.json` Then restarted kibana , Solved the issue. ---

Hi, I am in the same situation. Kibana worked for me, then after some time while playing with indexes it started to behave strangely, finally after a reboot it refuses connection to port 5601 I tried to uninstall, deleted all /opt/kibana files, reinstalled latest version, nothing is working I even cannot access any log, I created a log file for kibana and set it into kibana.yml but it is always zero sized. The service starts after an initial failure but connection to the port is denied. ---

I searched for an answer for 7 hours. I found that that in the kibana.yml file, if you change port: 5601 to server.port: 5601, I can connect to the server and port with curl. I have another error message and Kibana is not showing me Elasticsearch yet, but that is progress. And then after rebooting it would not start. However, changing it back to port: 5601 and restarting Kibana caused it to work again. ---
