Thread:Extension talk:CirrusSearch/Can't see elasticsearch version?/reply (3)

It looks like I figured it out. I had relied on the default $wgCirrusSearchServers setting, which uses 'localhost'.

After trying to get the version of elastic search via CURL (curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200') I noticed I was getting "Connection refused" response (502) errors.

This was puzzling. I was running this on the localhost box! What was going on! Well, I added the following to LocalSettings.php and guess what? It works now.

$wgCirrusSearchServers = array( 'hostname.domain.com' );

/facepalm. Thanks again.
