## [sian@sandbox Downloads]$ curl -XGET [http://127.0.0.1:9200/](http://127.0.0.1:9200/) { "status" : 200, "name" : "Growing Man", "version" : { "number" : "1.2.1", "build\_hash" : "6c95b759f9e7ef0f8e17f77d850da43ce8a4b364", "build\_timestamp" : "2014-06-03T15:02:52Z", "build\_snapshot" : false, "lucene\_version" : "4.8" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" }

Is my understanding wrong ?

Thanks Niloy.

Perhaps you already had an ES instance running? If you shut down the one you started and retry the curl operation, what happens?
