I suspect that your configuration for kibana is amiss. Can you share your kibana.yml file? Please be sure to remove password or other sensitive information.

Looks like maybe you have an I instead of a 1 in your IP address in server.host.

No worries, glad you have gotten things working. Sometimes you just need someone else to look at it.
