Hi Guys,

I'm trying to install opendistro elasticsearch [https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/rpm/](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/rpm/) on a centos machine and I was able to perform that. I even removed the security plugins mentioned here: [https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security-configuration/disable/](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security-configuration/disable/)  
When I use: curl -k [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) Im able to access the api of elasticsearch  
However, I'm unable to view the api output from my browser using  
http://:9200

Has anyone seen this issue? How should I resolve this? My elasticsearch service is up and running.  
But I'm unable to view things from my browser. My ports are open too for the machine.

Elasticsearch by default binds to localhost so you need to update your config to change that.
