If you simply point the browser at the file system index.html, in my experience, that only works in Firefox (and only if you explicitly do http://server:9200"). The Kibana default assumes that you actually run Kibana from a web server (or as an ES site plugin if you prefer) and that ES is accessible from the same host as where Kibana is being served from.
