I have modified app-search.yaml to reflect the following:

```
 ------------------------------- Hosting & Network ---------------------------

app_search.external_url: http://10.216.29.52

app_search.listen_host: 10.216.29.52
app_search.listen_port: 3002

```

It starts up the service on [http://10.216.29.52](http://10.216.29.52), but going there, I am redirected to /welcome, which the returns a 404 NOT FOUND error.

Any idea where I misconfigured this?

Figured this out. Had to change the app\_search.external\_url to `http://hostname.com`, and then put the hostname `/etc/hosts/`
