Hi All,

I have a prob with elasticsearch, I believe it is installed properly on my mac when I shut down and turn on the laptop it won't turn on again I did installation few time same issues, how u are guys handling this? I don't have logstash yet do i?

This is what it is saying

**bin** curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_status](http://localhost:9200/_status)'

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused

Thanks

Ok, so the tar.gz? If so, then you may want to use homebrew instead, as the tar.gz doesn't contain any scripts to manage startup like that.
