Elasticsearch Bindexception cannot assign requested address

Question

I am trying to start my elasticsearch node and I am getting the following error

Exception in thread "main" BindTransportException[Failed to bind to [9300-9400]]; nested: ChannelException[Failed to bind to: /192.168.0.1:9400]; nested: BindException[Cannot assign requested address];
Likely root cause: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address

I am not incredibly linux savvy but I googled how to check if a process is using a certain port and found the following

lsof -n -iTCP:9400

which returns nothing. i also tried

netstat -tulpn | grep 9400

which also returned nothing

No I was not. I was an intern at the time and my internship ended. — Jeremy Fisher, Oct 10 '16 at 15:51
I was able to fix it. Binding IP address that I was using in my configurations was wrong. Fixed it and this resolved. — systemhalted, Oct 10 '16 at 15:52

Look at this: Elastic Search - Ubuntu - Connection Refused

Your elasticsearch config for host ip is incorrect

Check your IP address and change accordingly in elasticsearch.yml and restart it.

I too got this error in elasticsearch.yml please check if

network.host: localhost

has been configured in the right way also please check the port as well. In my case it was an IP I changed to localhost then restarted Elastic service then it worked.
