Hi, this question has been asked so many times I am so sorry for being a  
noob.

Kibana keeps giving me the error "_Error Could not contact Elasticsearch at  
 [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200). Please ensure that Elasticsearch is reachable from  
your system.]_

I have changed the conig.js to be the correct ip yet I am still getting  
this error.

elasticsearch: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)",

localhost = my ubuntu server's address

pls help

apache2 elasticsearch kibana and logstash are all on the same host.

Thank you for your needed help,
