Ok, and can you su as kibana and then go to /usr/share/kibana/bin and run it from there (using ./kibana)? I assume the result will be the same but I guess it's worth a try. One other thing, does your user have access to write the pid file in `/var/run/kibana.pid`? Additionally, maybe you could try increasing the log level by uncommenting `logging.verbose: true` in `kibana.yml` ---

> [@Jon\_D](#): > > logging.verbose: true So here's a curious thing. I changed the kibana.service file and did daemon-reload. I was asked to authenticate with either kibana or elastic Kibana doesn't have a password so I did it with elastic. Restarted the service and it worked! I've done this a number of times in the course of the testing between root and kibana but this is the first time it's asked me for authorisation. Odd but it's working - thanks so much. ---

> [@Jon\_D](#): > > /etc/systemd/system/kibana.service Spoke too soon! I restarted again to turn off verbose logging and it won't start again!
