Elasticsearch - '127.0.0.1:9200' and 'localhost:9200' are unable to connect on the browser

Question

When I try curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200' on my terminal it is working fine.

But, When I try http://localhost:9200/ or 127.0.0.1:9200/ on my browser it shows

How can I fix this problem ?

Answer 1

I understand it is too late to answer, but "late" is relative.

As you are using curl in virtual machine, where elasticsearch is running, it is returning result in terminal. But to see it in the browser of the parent OS, You need to do this:

• Get the ip address of the linux machine where elasticsearch is running. (ifconfig), let's say it is 10.75.108.136
• Now open elasticsearch.yml in config directory and change below two properties a. network.host: "linux virtual machine ipaddress" b. uncomment http.port: 9200
• start elasticsearch
• In Parent OS go to http://10.75.108.136:9200/
