I have an elasticsearch cluster running on an EC2 server. I get a variety of different error mesages when I try to connect. Currently, in the elasticsearch.yml file all the transport items are commented out but I have tried: ```auto network.host: 0.0.0.0 and network.host: ec2-xx-xxx-xxx.aws.instance.com ``` In my flask app the code is as follows: ```auto from datetime import datetime from flask import Flask, jsonify, request from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch #es = Elasticsearch()http://34.245.51.240/ es = Elasticsearch(['ec2-34-xxx-xx-240.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com','9200']) #es = Elasticsearch(['34.245.51.240','9200']) application = Flask( __name__ ) @application.route('/', methods=['GET']) def index(): #results = es.get(index='contents', doc_type='title', id='my-new-slug') #return jsonify(results['_source']) doc = { 'author': 'kimchy', 'text': 'Elasticsearch: cool. bonsai cool.', 'timestamp': datetime.now(), } res = es.index(index="test-index", doc_type='tweet', id=1, body=doc) print(res['res']) return res #application.run(port=5000, debug=True) if __name__ == ' __main__': application.debug = True application.run() ``` I have googled multiple times and tried every possible configuration that I can find. What is the correct way to achieve this? Thank you ---

What are the elasticsearch logs when you start it? ---

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/e/7e6e239431ec2d71cbf1beef741f2e93e7cc762c.jpg) There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons. Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text. If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible. Anyway here your server is starting to listen on `127.0.0.1:9200`. Which means that you can connect to it only from localhost. Change `network.host` to make it listen on your IP address instead of localhost. ---

Thank you for your guidance. Your proposal does not work/ It seems the problem is the ip address cannot be bound to. Logs below.
