Hello,

I have problem with the elastic configuration, when I run the elastic under the default configuration with :

```
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
network.host: localhost
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200

```

it works just fine but when I set an IP address to network.host it wouldn't start and shows this error.

These two messages describe two problems that you need to resolve. They also tell you what you need to do to solve them:

I tried to apply solution to that now I have this problem :

These logs are not coming directly from Elasticsearch (except the one that says `elasticsearch[6387]`). This means they don't really tell us anything about Elasticsearch's issues. Can you share the Elasticsearch logs?

That looks healthy to me. Does it continue?

Oops, I see you edited your message. Ignore my comment, I'll look again.

This looks like a misconfiguration - it's trying to bind to a host called `9300-9400` but that looks like a port range. Can you share your `elasticsearch.yml`?

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#cluster.name: my-application
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
#node.name: node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
network.host: 18.216.136.223
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, consult the network module documentation.
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
discovery.seed_hosts: ["0.0.0.0", "18.216.136.223"]
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
#
# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
#
# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
#
#gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
#
# For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Require explicit names when deleting indices:
#
#action.destructive_requires_name: true

Ok, I can reproduce this error message if I set `network.host` to an address that doesn't belong to my computer. Are you sure that your node has the address `18.216.136.223`?

all what I want to do is access elasticsearch from the outside, I am in a cloud on which I have public IP and private one, the IP I used is the public one, I juste want to access the elasticsearch from the outside, could I use 0.0.0.0 ?

for example in kibana all I needed to do is changing the ip adress from localhost to 0.0.0.0 and now I have access from the outside

You can set `network.host: 0.0.0.0`, which means "bind to all addresses on this computer", or [a special value](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html#network-interface-values). But you can only bind to addresses that exist on the host.

I opened [#48001](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/48001) to report the confusing error message here.

well I did put `network.host: 0.0.0.0` and still having the same error elasticsearch can't start

the surprising thing once I put the `network.host: localhost` it works immediately, I just want to access elasticsearch from outside

If you set `network.host: 0.0.0.0` I think you will not see this `Failed to bind to [9300-9400]`, although you might see a different error in the logs.
