I am using a linux RHEL server, and trying to change kibana port from 5601 to 80.  
With port 5601, everything seems working fine. But kibana does not start at all while changing port to 80.

Any suggestions?

Is Kibana being run as root? If not, check this: [http://serverfault.com/questions/112795/how-to-run-a-server-on-port-80-as-a-normal-user-on-linux](http://serverfault.com/questions/112795/how-to-run-a-server-on-port-80-as-a-normal-user-on-linux).

Kibana is indeed running as root. Indeed as a work around, i redirected port 80 to default kibana port (5601)
