Hi all,

I have written a simple **Spring Boot API** in **Spring Tool Suite** for elastic search which will be used for CRUD operation using Elastic Search. When I am running my code as Spring Boot app, I am getting following result saying Tomcat server started on 9000 port but when I am trying to access that port using **Postman** with [http://localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000) it is giving 404 error.

**Postman error below:**

```
{
    "timestamp": 1532952939440,
    "status": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "message": "No message available",
    "path": "/"
}

```

Kindly help me.  
Thanks.

Tomcat is running on port 9000, right?  
Not elasticsearch.

So I don't see how we can help.

You should ask tomcat or Spring forums may be.
