Kibana cannot be run properly from the CLI when bin is your working directory

[Leleweb28]

I try start kibana 5.1.2 in development mode but not work (kibana.bat --dev). The browser shows the message: "Kibana did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.". In chrome console see three errors:
GET https://localhost:5601/tme/bundles/commons.style.css?v=8467 (403 Forbidden)
GET https://localhost:5601/tme/bundles/kibana.style.css?v=8467 (403 Forbidden)
GET https://localhost:5601/tme/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=8467 (403 Forbidden).
Have you suggestion?

Thanks,
Emanuele

Is there any output on the server console? If not, could you please retry with the --verbose option added and check the server console output?

[Leleweb28]

thanks for your response.
The output in server console is:
server respons [08:58:22.965] GET /bundles/commons.style.css?v=8467 403 14503ms - 9.0B
server respons [08:58:22.975] GET /bundles/kibana.style.css?v=8467 403 14213ms - 9.0B
server respons [08:58:22.980] GET /bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=8467 403 13898ms - 9.0B

Thanks,
Emanuele

[epixa]

Can you provide all of the server output, including the logs from when Kibana is starting up?

[weltenwort]

The 403 code might suggest that the Kibana process does not have permission to read the optimize/bundles directory and its content.

I'm having exactly the same issue with the same files, kibana version 5.2.2, directly from source using dev without SSL, connecting with an elasticsearch 5.2.2, all in the same machine.

OS: Windows 10 x64

In chrome display gives me :

Kibana did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.

browser console gives me this:

kibana:196
GET http://localhost:5601/zjv/bundles/commons.style.css?v=8467
next @ kibana:196
window.onload @ kibana:199
kibana:196 GET http://localhost:5601/zjv/bundles/kibana.style.css?v=8467
next @ kibana:196
next @ kibana:197
window.onload @ kibana:199
kibana:192 GET http://localhost:5601/zjv/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=8467

Each request of this 3 files ends like this:

Request URL:http://localhost:5601/zjv/bundles/commons.style.css?v=8467
Request Method:GET
Status Code:403 Forbidden
Remote Address:127.0.0.1:5601

All files have full access

server console gives me this:

@epixa if you need more information just let me know

[vanderkorn]

I had similiar issue.
I fixed it by running kibana uder GIT BASH console.
Take a look: "On Windows, you'll need you use Git Bash, Cygwin, or a similar shell that exposes the sh command. And to successfully build you'll need Cygwin optional packages zip, tar, and shasum."

[isaacgl]

I also face this issue but using GIT BASH did not works for me.
It works only then I run the kibana script from the root dir of kibana and not from the bin directory.
bin\kibana.bat --dev

[vanderkorn]

Try to run "bin/kibana --dev" from git bush under admin's rights

[isaacgl]

If I run it from the Kibana directory I don't need to run it without admin and I can run it using git bash and window command as wall. If I run it from the bin directory admin is not working with or without git bash.

So the solution is to use the Kibana directory as the working directory and not bin. Can we consider this solved, @Leleweb28 and @isaacgl?

@weltenwort I think people should be able to execute the CLIs without being in the root of the Kibana project. If there was a really good reason for us not to support that, then that'd be one thing, but this seems more like an accident to me.

This no longer appears to be an issue.
