Hi, I was wondering if someone has had this issue before? So everything is working on my Ubuntu server 14.04 and the logs are coming in no issue there. But when i need to check something with `tail -f /var/log/logstash/logstash.stdout` I get The error reported is: Address already in use - bind - Address already in use then I thought logstash was trying to bind to the same port as kibana so i tried `echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/logstash-web.override` still no fix ☹ Thank you ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/0/05f8925773a978d32e929ec702fd709651de0029.png) ---

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read and some people may not be even able to see them. 🙂 Can you show us your config? What version are you on? Is LS already running? ---

That's a **really** old version, you should upgrade. ---

thank you again for the quick reply, so i ran `sudo netstat -plnt | grep ':5140'` and got `tcp6 0 0 :::5140 :::* LISTEN 281/java` so java for some odd reason is listening on that port odd.. Well this is my logstash config [http://pastebin.com/JC5sdxG6](http://pastebin.com/JC5sdxG6) Thank you ---

well I wanted to install ELK on ubuntu server 14.04 because before I had it on lubuntu I ran the same config and step which is odd... when i install java i used this command ``` sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install oracle-java7-installer; ``` And no issue there but not sure why its giving me this issue. Whats even funnier that logstash is working fine the logs but when i want to run Tail to logstash get that issue ☹ could it be something with the permissions? ---
