I am using kibana 4.1.1 and elasticsearch-1.4.4.  
When I start kibana after starting elasticsearch I getting this error:  
Unable to revive connection: [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)  
Unable to connect to elasticsearch at [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)

I checked kibana.yml for confirugation, I dont see any problem there. Will it be a firwall issue on prt 9200?

I was facing the same and just change this to false in kibana.yml and start working, restarted kibana and its done.  
verify\_ssl: false
