ElasticSearch installation error - curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:9200; Connection refused

Question

I'm trying to configure ElasticSearch with this tutorial

I did everything except step 4 of the tutorial.

In step 5, when I run this command:

curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

I get this error:

curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:9200; Connection refused

I have tried two different things to fix the error:

But neither solved the problem.

What should I do to test Elasticsearch and solve this error?

Thanks.

What do you see in `/var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log`? Also what does `ps -edf | grep java` return? — Val, Apr 15 '16 at 03:06

You just have to uncomment these lines in your elastic-search configuration file:

cluster.name: your_cluster_name 
node.name: "Your Node Name"
network.bind_host: localhost
network.publish_host: 0.0.0.0
network.host: 0.0.0.0

also don't forget to `sudo service elasticsearch restart` and `start` elastic-search again – truongnm Sep 17 '17 at 03:51
