What version of Elasticsearch and Kibana are you running?

What platform?

Since you're using localhost are you just trying to get an instance of Elasticsearch and Kibana running in a dev environment on the same machine?

Hi @raghuvarma,

Kibana runs on port 5601 by default. The error message is saying that, when Kibana tried to start up and bind to port 5601, it couldn't because something else was already bound to port 5601.

Could you run sudo lsof -i :5601? That should tell you what is already bound to port 5601.

it's giving no result.

$ lsof -i :5601
$

@shaunak

it's giving no result.

$ lsof -i :5601

Thanks @raghuvarma.

A couple more things to try:

  1. Can you change the value of server.host in your 127.0.0.1 in your kibana.yml file and try restarting the Kibana service?

  2. Can you paste here the contents of your /etc/hosts file?

Thanks,

Shaunak
