Can you post the actual error you are seeing? Is there anything in the browser dev tools console? ---

@warkolm While running curl i'm getting an error ``` curl --cacert /etc/elasticsearch/certs/elastic-stack-ca.p12 -u elastic:password https://1.5.5.3:9200 curl: (77) Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) ``` Below is the file permission ``` ll | grep elastic-stack -rwxr-xr-x 1 root elasticsearch 2527 Sep 20 19:15 elastic-stack-ca.p12 ``` Not sure where i'm missing.

Got this resolved, all you need to do is follow the documents properly. I had misplaced the certificates.
