Re: [Wagtail] Wagtail and Elasticsearch. What am I missing to get this to work?

[Karl Hobley]

It looks like Wagtail can't connect to Elasticsearch. By defaullt, Wagtail expects Elasticsearch to be reachable at http://localhost:9200

Is Elasticsearch running on the same machine as Wagtail? If not, check that the correct URL has been passed into the "URLS" part of the configuration in your project settings (http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.6/topics/search/backends.html#elasticsearch-backend).

If it should be running on the same machine, there must be something wrong with the Elasticsearch install or something blocking Wagtail from accessing it. You can test that Elasticsearch is reachable using curl: "curl http://localhost:9200"

Hope this helps,

Karl

Hi,

New to wagtail and I apologize for such a broad question when everything is documented so well but, basically, how to I get elasticsearch working?

I set up a new django/wagtail dev server to check out wagtail and  have a working setup with some blog pages for testing. The default db search works fine.  From the docs it seems as easy as installing elasticsearch and adding it as the backend to settings.py. If I install elasticsearch and make it the search backend I get the error posted below.

I'm hoping someone could explain what else I need to do? I did some searching and found folks with issues with elasticsearch and jdk versions but none lead me in the right direction.
