title: having issues accessing elasticsearch
body: <p>I'm very new to elasticsearch. Using SSH, I've been able to run it via bin/elasticsearch and if I run curl localhost:9200, I can see the details and confirm that it's running. Furthermore, I've installed Marvel and Head, but I'm not sure how to access these GUIs from a browser. </p>
  
  <p>The documentation says to browse to localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel but obviously on our live server this will not work. I've tried replacing localhost with my servers IP but I get nothing. Am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>In response to Drew R. The latest version is installed and it had been restarted after the installation via the shutdown api. </p>
  
  <p>Sudo IP Tables did produce a lot of DROP results, but I can't make sense of that <code>(This policy will halt a connection to a host without any communication unless there is a target rule that applies.)</code></p>
  
  <p><code>curl -vv server:9200/_plugin/marvel</code> returned:</p>
