Hello everyone. I have a problem with kibana.  
curl localhost:5601 does not work i couldn't connect with browser.  
when i try this commands  
sudo -i service kibana start  
sudo -i service kibana stop  
sudo service kibana status  
i see that kibana Works.  
kibana.yml file contains...

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.

server.port: 5601

# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

# The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.

# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.

server.host: "0.0.0.0"  
elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)"  
what is the problem?

Can you check the logs? Maybe Kibana can’t start the web server for some reason.
