Hey guys,

im new to Elasticsearch and tried the guide [http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/elasticsearch-in-5-minutes.html](http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/elasticsearch-in-5-minutes.html)

Everything went fine until i tried this command  
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/blog/user/dilbert](http://localhost:9200/blog/user/dilbert)' -d '{ "name" : "Dilbert Brown" }'  
expected was:  
{"ok":true,"\_index":"blog","\_type":"post","\_id":"1","\_version":1}  
but received was a redirection header. -v shows a moved permanently error.  
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/blog/user/dilbert](http://localhost:9200/blog/user/dilbert)' -vd '{ "name" : "Dilbert Brown" }'

- About to connect() to proxy proxy.[...].de port 8080

Redirection
# Redirect
\* Closing connection #0

as you may already have noticed im using redhat enterprise edition. elasticsearch version is 0.20.5. java is version 7, also tried with version 6. elasticsearch started successfully. the folders (blog/user blog/post) bot exist and rights are at 777. i also checked the folders content (even hidden files).. nothing.

so.. what am i doing wrong or where is the problem that i have to fix to get to the wanted result?
