I find the reason.

the server port is used by other application, so caused the above error.

modify the kabana port, then start success

We can definitely make that error more readable!  
I've raised [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6064](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6064) to get that fixed 🙂
