## Hi there, I installed elasticsearch following the article on [https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04/](https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04/). I manage to run it successfully on my local machine because I was accessing it from my local environment. I have installed it on my dev server and I want to access it from another server. I can access it with localhost:9200 in my dev server but not from outside the server. I tried updating the elasticsearch.yml file with following settings: ## bootstrap.mlockall: true network.host: 0.0.0.0 http.port: 9200 Enabled port 9200 to be accessed publicly with "ufw enable" sudo netstat -plnt shows the port is listening. But still I am not able to access the URL publicly. Can you please suggest me what I need to do to make it work? Thank you, Bishwadeep KC ---

Can you show your elasticsearch logs? ---

Hi David, There were not any errors in the log file (only stopping.. closing.. starting). The service restart works completely fine. I was able to access the localhost:9200 from the server. ---

I'm not looking for errors. I'm looking for your logs. ---

Hi Bishwadeep, Can you access the URL with IP of your node on which elastic search is installed outside of local server? Please share your /etc/hosts file snapshot. For accessing the elasticsearch URL outside of local server you have to make some changes in hosts file. ---
