Hello All, I am new to Graylog. I am unable to access the server via the web interface. I recently install ed Graylog on Ubuntu 19.10. In the config under http settings I made some changes and restarted/enabled both elastic search and Graylog server. I have even rebooted several times.

I will like to access Graylog from both the same machine it is on as well as from other machines on the same local network. I can access the web interface if I set everything to 127.0.0.1.

Any help is appreciated.

Here are the changes I have made (I have also tried different combinations):

http\_bind\_address

* * *

#Default: 127.0.0.1:9000  
#http\_bind\_address = [http://127.0.0.1:9000](http://127.0.0.1:9000)  
#http\_bind\_address = [2001:db8::1]:9000

#Changed to the local ip address  
http\_bind\_address = [http://10.0.0.237:9000](http://10.0.0.237:9000)

http\_publish\_uri

* * *

# Default: http://$http\_bind\_address/

http\_publish\_uri = 10.0.0.237:9000

http\_external\_uri

* * *

# Default: $http\_publish\_uri

http\_external\_uri = 10.0.0.237:9000

Please let me know which of these I am getting wrong and also if there is anything else besides these that I need to check.

Correct  
http\_bind\_address = [http://10.0.0.237:9000](http://10.0.0.237:9000)  
to  
http\_bind\_address = 10.0.0.237:9000

Hi zoulja,

Hello All,

I am able to access it now! Thanks.

I put back the hash tags in front of http\_publish\_address and http\_external\_url so that they defaulted to the bind address and it is working now.

Thanks

he @judel5

`http_bind_address` is an adress - like written EVERYWHERE and `http_publish_uri` and `http_external_uri` are URLS - that need the protocol added. Like written above the setting in the configuration file OR the documentation …

The default will add this silently … but if you but in a value that is used.

You would have seen that in the Graylog server.log …
