Hi,  
I have installed ELK6 (elasticsearch, logstash and kibana) in a VM CentOS7. All the .yml are set to localhost.  
I did copy the /kibana in /var/www/html/ and then created a dot conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ to reverse proxy when connecting to the ELK host with its IP@. The .conf looks like:

\<VirtualHost \*:80\>  
ServerName sv014335.info.ratp

# DocumentRoot /var/www/html/kibana6

# \<Directory /var/www/html/kibana\>

# Allow from all

# Options -Multiviews

# 

ProxyPreserveHost On  
ProxyRequests On  
ProxyPass /kibana [http://localhost:5601/kibana](http://localhost:5601/kibana)  
ProxyPassReverse /kibana [http://localhost:5601/kibana](http://localhost:5601/kibana)  
  
AuthType Basic  
AuthBasicProvider file  
AuthName "Restricted"  
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/kibana-htpasswd  
Require valid-user

I still cannot get the Kibana welcome page.  
Can anyone help.  
Thanks in advance.

Kibana is a NodeJS application, and by copying the application to `/var/www/html` I think that would tell Apache[0] to serve it as a static website. There isn't any part of Kibana that would work as a "DocumentRoot"

I think you're not able to see the welcome page because Kibana is not running. You might need to have a service that starts it, and to confirm that it is running using a browser or `curl`. Then make your reverse proxy send its connections to the IP/port that the Kibana application is running on.

By the way, your Apache configuration isn't shown clearly - you'll need to mark it up by wrapping the text in backticks: ```

[0] I haven't used Apache virtual hosts in a long time, but I'm assuming the configuration you're showing is an Apache configuration.
