Graylog on Ec2 error in binding to public ip

Graylog Central (peer support)

I have tried starting the graylog server after changing the “rest_listen_uri” and “rest_transport_uri” to my EC2’s public IP. The logs when trying to start server are as follows. Any help would be appreciated.

it looks like the adress you entered is not available on the locat interface

 Cannot assign requested address

Hi @jan but that is what my ec2 instance’s ip address is.

I just observed that rest_listen_uri = http://public IP:9000/ is causing the trouble. whenever i am commenting the thing out server starts fine. but when i am uncommenting out it fails saying Cannot assign requested address. @jochen need help please…

No, that’s the public IP address the AWS edge router assigns to your EC2 instance but it’s not a local IP address of your EC2 instance.
