I have installed elastic search on redhat 7x, modified network.host to the IP address of the box and http.port=9002 in elasticsearch.yml , able to start the process but when i try to access [http://xxxx](http://xxxx) :9002 from a remote machine i get blank page, any idea what could be missing,

We have this setting in our yml file:

`network.bind_host: 0.0.0.0`

Hope this helps!
