`curl: (7) Failed connect to 187.48.456.45:9200; Connection refused`

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I installed ES 2.3.3. on my server(centos 7). I want to work on server not localhost. So I changed my elasticsearch.yml file with my ip number:187.48.456.45:

network.host: 187.48.456.45

After restart ES and I tried to connection.

[root@elasticsearch ~]# service elasticsearch restart
Restarting elasticsearch (via systemctl):                  [  OK  ]

However It didn't work true.

[root@elasticsearch ~]# curl http://187.48.456.45:9200
my error:
curl: (7) Failed connect to 187.48.456.45:9200; Connection refused

Also my firewall close. What is the problem?

Yeah this is a network issue. I probably know how to solve it:
On a Windows machine: Google for 'paping' and download it, put it in C:/
Open up a command prompt and perform:

 C:/paping 176.56.236.46 -p 9200

I'm guessing it will tell you it is closed.
You say 'my firewall close'. This is not how firewalls work. When you 'shutdown' a firewall, it doesn't mean all the ports are open!
CentOS 7 works with firewallcmd. You can either disable firewallcmd and use iptables to open a port.
Or use these commands:

firewall-cmd --zone=dmz --add-port=9200/tcp --permanent systemctl restart firewall-cmd

And I'm not quite sure what it is you're trying. Because which machine is IP number: 187.48.456.45?
And you're trying to curl @ 176.56.236.46:9200 (A different IP adres)

Ok I did but it isn't.

I installed centos 6 instead of centos 7. After I installed ES. 2.3.3.

I configured elasticsearch.yml for network.host: 187.48.456.45.
After I installed vesta web panel for apache, mysql and php.

service elasticsearch restart.

error: permission denied on key 'vm.max_map_count'
Starting elasticsearch: log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (common).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

I tried to connect on my server:

curl 'http://187.48.456.45:9200'
...

{
  "name" : "Rogue",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "version" : {

    "build_timestamp" : "2016-05-17T15:40:04Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "5.5.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

It work true .:+1:

However I tried to connection on my browser:

http://187.48.456.45:9200

Result:

This site can not be reached
187.48.456.45 took too long to respond to the main machine.
Make a search on Google on 187 48 9200

What can I do?

my ip tables:

...
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9200 -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m udp --dport 9200 -j ACCEPT 
....

and

[root@elasticsearch ~]# netstat -plnt

It was solved.
