title: Not able to load Kibana on port 5601
body: <p>I have installed Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Nginx following this guide,</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04" rel="noreferrer">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04</a></p>
  
  <p>Elasticsearch is running on 9200 </p>
  
  <p>But running </p>
  
  <pre><code>curl http://localhost:5601
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5601: Connection refused
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In <code>kibana.yml</code> file I configured </p>
  
  <pre><code>server.port: 5601
  
  server.host: "127.0.0.1"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here I also checked with <code>localhost</code> and <code>aws private ip address</code>.</p>
  
  <p>And while checking the port running this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>netstat -anp | grep 5601
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=1000 but you should be root.)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can start kibana running:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo service kibana start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But while checking status using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo service kibana status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>kibana is not running
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I haven't setup firewall and running </p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo ufw status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Status : Inactive
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am confused, why is  the kibana port not listening?</p>
