i have installed xpack with root permission as shown here : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html)  
and after this i cannot access to elasticsearch or kibana, i get the following error :

Try setting security enabled as false to see if that solves your problem: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/security-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/security-settings.html)

After enabling xpack it might be that you haven't set certs et al security measures.
