New to elasticsearch, kibana and logstash

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I am a new user to to elasticsearch, kibana and logstash.

I downloaded Elasticsearch 2.4.1 zip file to ubuntu 14.04 and extricated to /apps/elasticsearch-2.4.1/
Started it by /apps/elasticsearch-2.4.1/bin/elasticsearch -d

I downloaded Kibana 4.6.1 tar file to ubuntu 14.04 and extricated to /apps/kibana-4.6.1-linux-x86_64/
Edited /apps/kibana-4.6.1-linux-x86_64/config/kibana.yml and set below values
server.port: 5601
server.host: ""
elasticsearch.url: "http://localhost:9200"

Started it by /apps/kibana-4.6.1-linux-x86_64/bin/kibana
saw message [info][listening] Server running at http://:5601

But i dont get a page when i try http://:5601

Can any one help?

Thanks,
Simon Mandy

What do the elasticsearch logs say?

BTW, I'd not try to modify any setting at first. So keep the default Kibana settings values.

I think that server.host: "" should be something like server.host: "127.0.0.1"

OK, I clean installed elasticsearch and kibana and started both back. (to get the confutation to default as you suggested)
Here is log from elasticsearch.log

It looks good.
