Hi,

I re-installed Elasticsearch and Kibana but still getting that restart every 14 seconds. I was able to resolve this issue by removing "noexec" from /var; got the solution from [Kibana server is not ready yet - throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-server-is-not-ready-yet-throw-er-unhandled-error-event/175879/7)

I actually debugged the startup of Kibana and this was the log I got during the stop to start:

```

```

which led me to search for "kibana: Error: spawn /var/lib/kibana/headless\_shell-linux/headless\_shell EACCES" that directed me to the solution URL.  
Thanks to Kaldayr for the solution.
