Hello folks, I want to access remotely to my elasticsearch version 5. I tried to add this line in the elasticseach.yml file as I did with elassticsearch version 4 (which worked): ``` network.bind_host: 0.0.0.0 ``` however, it doesn't work and elasticsearch displays an error and does not work. ``` [sagemcom@localhost bin]$ ./elasticsearch [2016-11-07T12:17:58,432][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [] initializing ...

The log you posted lists two errors that makes Elasticsearch refuse to start. Start by addressing them. They have nothing to do with your setting of `network.bind_host`. ---

I don't expect you to have to do much else. However, I suspect `network.host` is a better choice than `network.bind_host`. ---
