Can you share the following information, please?

1. The exact line from `kibana.yml` where you are setting the server basepath.
2. The entire output of running `./bin/kibana`.

Dear Shaunak,

Please find the requested data.

server.port: 5601

# The host to bind the server to.

server.host: "192.168.17.73"

All of that looks good. When you say (in your original post), "it is not taking that", what exactly is happening? Any errors you can post here?

[http://172.29.106.161:5601](http://172.29.106.161:5601) , If I add server.basePath: "/kibana" in kibana.yml ,  
I can use the url like this [http://172.29.106.161/kibana](http://172.29.106.161/kibana) in old version of kibana, where as in nwe version it is not working.

Basically I am trying to avoid the port number.

Thanks

What proxy are you using? Can you share your proxy config as well? I can try to reproduce this issue.
