I failed to recover from running out of file descriptors, so eventually re-installed 0.17.6. But after days of trying lots of things, :9200 just does not respond. I am installing on Centos 6 and elasticsearch previously ran fine on this server for over three months.
I am sure I am doing something silly and would really appreciate some help. The log on a clean install is as below:

Hello,
It seems, that Your instance was not bound to 9200 and 9300. From the
logs it seems that Elasticsearch was bound to 78.31.111.84:9318 and
78.31.111.84:9218. Please try those IP addresses and port 9218 instead
of 9200. Could it be, that something else is bound to 9200 and 9300
ports ?
Regards,
Rafał Kuć

Note, elasticsearch will try and work with multiple instances on the same data location. Check the data directory and see if multiple nodes were started by mistake.
Regarding ports, it will try and bind to 9200 (HTTP) and 9300 (transport), and if it can't, it will try the next port free.
