I had installed x-pack earlier and used it, and hosted Kibana through Nginx.

I yesterday uninstalled x-pack from both elasticsearch and kibana, via  
`sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack`  
and  
`sudo bin/kibana-plugin remove x-pack`

Now, when I try to start elastic, elastic is started, but Kibana does not start when I start kibana.

The `Kibana.stdout` log says,

```
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-04-27T06:23:39Z","tags":["info","optimize"],"pid":49497,"message":"Optimizing and caching bundles for kibana, timelion and status_page. This may take a few minutes"}

```

And Kibana is never started.

The `sudo service kibana status` says it is running, but `sudo netstat -ntlp`, I can not find the port `5601`.

It is never started. Why so ?

What can be the possible issue ?

Does `ps -ef|grep kibana` show anything?

@warkolm Thank you for your response.  
No body was answering, so I un-installed Kibana, and installed it again. That worked.
