Setup-passwords ERROR: Unknown error

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I recently installed elastic 6.2.2 with xpack.
I'm trying to set password to elastic user, but I got an Unknow error. There is no messages in cluster log.

[elastic@elastic]$ bin/x-pack/setup-passwords interactive -u http://10.27.0.2:9201

Unexpected response code [404] from calling GET http://10.27.0.2:9201/_xpack/security/_authenticate?pretty
Possible causes include:

  • The relative path of the URL is incorrect. Is there a proxy in-between?
  • The protocol (http/https) does not match the port.
  • Is this really an Elasticsearch server?

ERROR: Uknown error
[elastic@elastic]$ telnet 10.27.0.2 9201
Trying 10.27.0.2...
Connected to 10.27.0.2.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
[elastic@elastic]$

Any advice on how to resolve it?

What gives:

curl http://10.27.0.2:9201/

And also

curl http://10.27.0.2:9201/_cat/plugins?v

And BTW why are you running on port 9201? Are you running 2 nodes on the same machine?
