ConnectionError

Hello,

I’m receiving the following error when trying to use the example code:

elasticsearch.exceptions.ConnectionError: ConnectionError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x10896f290>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused) caused by: NewConnectionError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x10896f290>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused)

I’ve verified that the elasticsearch server is running and that I’m able to use it via cURL / browser. For example, cURLing, I get the following response:

{
  "name" : "LONG STRING",
  "cluster_name" : "CHANGED CLUSTER NAME",
  "cluster_uuid" : "CHANGED UUID",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "5.1.1",
    "build_hash" : "5395e21",
    "build_date" : "2016-12-06T12:36:15.409Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "6.3.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

In that case the problem is that curl defaults to port 80 while Elasticsearch to port 9200, you need to specify the port by using our.es.server.name:9200

[VenkateshShanbhag]

@HonzaKral That is not the solution. “our.es.server.name” must be listening to 9200 instead of 80. or else the curl -XGET ‘our.es.server.name’ would not have returned “tagline” : “You Know, for Search”. assigning port in front of domain name will not fix the issue.

The firewall is blocking the domain access. The alternative would be port forwarding.

Thanks
