Hi guys,
I am new to this topic and just set up a new Elasticsearch installation on my server. The connection to localhost works fine and I get a result when I do `curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'`.
Now I want to connect to Elasticsearch from a website from another server, so I thought I have to put the ip address of this server to the network.host in the config file. I've done this and tried the same curl as above `curl -X GET ':9200'` but the connection failed to this. I have opened the port :9200, no firewall blocks and no errors in the Elasticsearch log.
Any ideas, where the problem is? Thanks!

Which IP did you use in `network.host`? It needs to be an IP address that exists on the network interfaces of the machine where Elasticsearch is running, it is the IP address to which the process will listen.
If you want it to be accessible externaly, you may just use `network.host` as `0.0.0.0` this makes Elasticsearch accessible on all the IP address on the machine.
You connect to it from another server using one of the IPs of the Elasticsearch machine.

I used the IP of the other server, the server without Elasticsearch. I think at one time I also used `0.0.0.0`, but to no avail. I just tested it again with `0.0.0.0`, but `curl -X GET ':9200'` gave me the error `Failed to connect to 162.x.x.x port 9200 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server`.

How can this be done?

The same way you did, for example `curl -X get http://ip:9200`
Is Elasticsearch running? What do you havein the logs? What does your `elasticsearch.yml` looks like? Please share it.
If Elasticsearch is running and you configured `network.host` to listen on `0.0.0.0` but you still cannot access, then it may be a network issue.

It should be running. I was testing it with `curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'` and got `health status index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size` as output.
Not sure how to share the files with you, so I will try to list you the input. I have the following lines in `elasticsearch.yml`:
- cluster.name: x
- path.data: /usr/home/...
- path.logs: /usr/home/...
- network.host: 0.0.0.0
The logs:

It still binding to only `127.0.0.1`, did you restart it after changing `elasticsearch.yml`?

Just copy the file contents and paste in the same way as you did with the logs.

The restart did it 🙂 Now I can see two more issues in the logs:
```auto
* bootstrap check failure [1] of [2]: max number of threads [2048] for user [itool] is too low, increase to at least [4096]
* bootstrap check failure [2] of [2]: the default discovery settings are unsuitable for production use; at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured
```
I wanted to solve the first issue, but I can't find the `/etc/securits/limits.conf` file...

Is it possible to change these settings without having root access? It seems that I don't have this type of access on my current webserver.
