Hi,

I am trying to create a tribe node setup. I am having two servers , I am trying to setup one server as tribe and another as normal data node. I am using Elasticsearch version 2.1.1

Please find my config below,

> **#Data Node Config**  
> cluster.name: my\_net\_ctx  
> path.data: /ctx/dataindex  
> path.logs: /ctx/datalogs  
> network.bind\_host:   
> transport.tcp.port: 9300  
> network.publish\_host:   
> http.port: 9200  
> http.enabled: true  
> discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [":9300"]  
> discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

> \*\* #Tribe Node Config\*\*  
> node.data: false  
> node.master: false  
> network.bind\_host:   
> transport.tcp.port: 9200  
> network.publish\_host:   
> http.port: 9300  
> http.enabled: true  
> tribe.t1.cluster.name: my\_net\_ctx

When I tried to start my elasticsearch after including the above configuration in elasticsearch.yml on both the servers. I am facing the below error.

I have noticed one thing in the log file, even though I have changed the IP address but still it showing 127.0.0.1 in the exception.

I don't know where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance!!!!!
