Hi, I am trying to upgrade elasticsearch 1.4.4 to 6.5.0. Below are the steps I followed: - Started a new 6.5.0 cluster in addition to existing 1.4.4 - configured it to run with logstash 6.5.0 and it is running well. I am getting an error when trying to reindex from remote: > curl -X POST “127.0.0.1:9201/\_reindex?pretty=true” -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' > { > "conflicts": "proceed", > "source": { > "remote": { > "host": “[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" > }, > "index": "my\_new\_twitter\_river" > }, > "dest": { > "index": “twittertool2.0” > } > }' For the above, I am getting the below error: > curl: (6) Could not resolve host: “127.0.0.1; Name or service not known Can anyone help please? ---

That error is from curl. It looks like it is trying to resolve the host icluding the quotation mark. Are you sending a standard quotation mark or some kind of fancy one? It looks like a left quote or a smart quote from here. Neither of those are good. ---

@nik9000 Thanks a lot! That indeed was the problem! I typed in the quote this time and the curl error went. Now I have a new error! > curl -X POST "127.0.0.1:9201/\_reindex?pretty=true" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' > { > "conflicts": "proceed", > "source": { > "remote": { > "host": "[https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)" > }, > "index": "my\_new\_twitter\_river" > }, > "dest": { > "index": "twittertool2" > } > }' > { > "error" : { > "root\_cause" : [ > { > "type" : "connection\_closed\_exception", > "reason" : "Connection closed" > } > ], > "type" : "connection\_closed\_exception", > "reason" : "Connection closed" > }, > "status" : 500 > } Any advise on how to work this out? ---
