New VM install fail to run

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi, I'm trying to run Elasticsearch using Virtualbox VM (Ubuntu 16.04 server). I'm using this guide and install latest 5.6.0 edition.

http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/elasticsearch-in-5-minutes.html

After I run bin/elasticsearch, it seems to start fine but it is connection refused when I try to connect to http://ip:9200 . Firewall is off

Elasticsearch by default binds to localhost only, which means it is not accessible from outside the VM. You will need to update the network settings in the elasticsearch.yml to make it bind to an externally accessible IP.

That tutorial is super old, I would suggest you use https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/getting-started.html
