When I execute ./kibana, following error occurs

Could you tell me some more about which version of kibana are you using, how did you install, what system, did it work previously ? Did you edit any configuration files ?

thanks

I was using kibana 4.0.0 .  
I downloaded the zip file , extracted it and ran ./kibana  
I installed on ubuntu 16.04  
I installed it for first time  
I haven't edited the config file

I was working with spring and elastic search  
I think the maven dependency for spring-elasticsearch now supports lower versions of ES, so that I was using ES 2.4.5 and hence used kibana 4.0.0

If you look at the [support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#show_compatibility), Elasticsearch 2.4.5 is compatible with Kibana 4.6.4.
