Hi, i've look through the forums and found many people having errors when enabling xpack, but not exactly my error, if i enable xpack on elasticsearch it pops up the log in when i access the website, but when i enable it in kibana it refuses to start the service. Picture of the error: ![Captura de Ecrã (925)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/a/7a4b33d6932232afb4621c3e05d845475c256b21.png) My kibana.yml ![Captura de Ecrã (926)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/4/748a6bd7b74ec5553e21df67ec76c524a3636293.png) Thanks in advance. ---

There is nothing useful in the error log, you need to check in the system logs to see if there is more information. But from your `kibana.yml` you have `elasticsearch.password` set twice, this won't work, you need to fix the `kibana.yml` and remove the duplicated entry. ---

Hi Leandro, i was following a tutorial and he also had duplicated entries and worked, since we were on the same version i thought it would work too, i will get rid one of the entries and get back to you asap. ---

> [@francis009](#): > > Hi Leandro, i was following a tutorial and he also had duplicated entries and worked Which tutorial? Is a tutorial from Elastic? You can't have duplicate keys on a `yaml` file. > [@francis009](#): > > So kibana service is running well but i am faced with an error page online Kibana runs on port `5601`, not on port `8080`. I recommend that you follow the official guide from [Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/welcome-to-elastic/current/getting-started-general-purpose.html). ---

Just saw that you manually changed the port to use `8080`. Have you tried to access using `http` or `https` ? You need to use `https://` not `http`. ---

I did change the port to 8080, turns out it was automatically filling the url with http and not https, it's working, thanks a lot. ![Captura de Ecrã (929)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/7/97180bba3b81e853c6431ae1df285714e65a0324.png) ---
