Hi Francis,

I am seeing this below message when I hit
http://219.11.134.114/test/_plugin/kibana/app/kibana

==> /var/log/nginx/error.log <==

            location = /40x.html {
        }

        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
            location = /50x.html {
        }
    }

Also, I am not sure why it is getting referenced to /usr/share/nginx/html/?
Is there a way to change the default document root? Please suggest further.

Best Regards,
