Hi,

Just to make my production setup more secure i changed the default http.port in elasticsearch.yml, then i restarted the elasticsearch service. Now i can't access the ES instance from browser!

It was working fine with default port: 9200. Do i need to change other settings?

Which port do you set?  
It can happen that the os refuses it if too low, like 80.

@dadoonet thanks for your quick help. Actually i changed port 9200 to 8900. So is it something that OS may refuse!

You need to look at elasticsearch logs and share them if you don't understand them.
