Please format your code 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 ``` ```` Please edit your posts. Anyway your server is listening here on `127.0.0.1:9200`. So the only way to access it is locally with `curl 127.0.0.1:9200/`. If you want to be able to access it from another machine, then you need to configure properly what @warkolm told you > [@Curl: (7) failed to connect](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/curl-7-failed-to-connect/120073/5): > > If you're not familiar with localhost, then check out [https://whatismyipaddress.com/localhost](https://whatismyipaddress.com/localhost) You need to set network.host to something, 0.0.0.0 will bind to all IPs and interfaces on the host, if that is what you want. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/curl-7-failed-to-connect/120073)._
