I’ve installed Graylog on a new server by following the official documentation but the server won’t start and keeps restarting. Here is what I have in “/var/log/graylog-server/server.log”:

Any idea on how to fix that?

I’m not the most knowledgeable, but I’ll take a crack at it.

First, are you using the most current documentation? (I had issues once when I was using an older version’s doc’s)

Have you tried repeating the same steps in a local virtual machine (like VirtualBox or Docker container) to see if you get the same types of errors? (Might be worth trying)

Yes, I use the most recent documentation. I followed the instructions on this page: [http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/installation/os/centos.html](http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/installation/os/centos.html)

I installed it on a dedicated server. I will try a new install and see.

Thanks

@bnabilos

it looks like your Graylog was:

- not able to connect to elasticsearch
- was not able to bind to the configured interface

next time please add your configuration and please use

````
```
TEXT
```

````

to make your entries with log files and configuration easier to read.

thank you
