Hi,

I've upgraded my nodes to Elasticsearch 2.4.0 and that went fine. Elasticsearch cluster is up and running. Then I upgraded Kibana from 4.5.0 to 4.6.1 and it will start but I cannot access Kibana in my browser. I've googled a lot and tried a clean install of Kibana but nothing helps so far.

I have not edited my kibana.yml file because I can't recall if I have ever done that. My elasticsearch.yml is also not heavily altered. It has a clustername, nodename and network.host is 0.0.0.0.

When I start Kibana if gives me this information:

```
 log [14:08:41.975] [info][status][plugin:kibana@1.0.0] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready
 log [14:08:42.024] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@1.0.0] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch

 log [14:08:42.112] [info][listening] Server running at http://0.0.0.0:5601

```

If I try to access Kibana in my browser by entering localhost:5601 it just keeps loading. Any ideas?

U can fix bind server host for Kibana in

`/opt/kibana/config/kibana.yml` (if u install kibana from repo).

and see line 5 :

```
server.host: "10.1.x.x" 

```

Edit 10.1.x.x to your IP server .  
After that start kibana and access kiban with : your\_IP:5601
