Hi ,  
I'm new to ELK stack, Just please ignore me if it was a silly question for you. I'm trying to install kibana on my server .When i connect to the homepage of server it only shows status bar and i couldn't see anything else like discover, dashboard and settings etc. Installed kibana 4.4 with my elasticsearch 2.4.6. . I had installed many versions many time but every time it was the same issue , and i really have no clue what's happening with my homepage. Could anyone please help me out.

For kibana insatllation I followed these steps from below link  
[[Getting Kibana Up and Running | Kibana User Guide [4.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.4/setup.html)]([http://kibana](http://kibana) 4.4)

Started kibana

It looks like Elasticsearch is either not up (check your ES logs) or not accessible from the machine Kibana is running on.

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that my elasticsearch and kibana are not connected properly.
