Searchkick: Elasticsearch transport error 403, when Product.reindex in the local

[jiujiubad]

When "Add data to the search index", I run "Job. reindex" in rails c, then return an error as follows.

I try to find solution in Google and stackoverflow, but did not find it.
I am very new to be a coder. I use ruby on rails.
I hope I didn't bring trouble to you.

Try running Job.search_index.clean_indices in the console first and see if that helps.

If you still get that error, you could also try adding the following to your searchkick config in the Job model and reindexing (although it shouldn't really be necessary):
searchkick settings: {blocks: {read_only: false}}

If you are still getting the error, then the final thing you could try would be to delete the existing index first by running Job.search_index.delete and then reindexing to create a new index.

Thanks @mikelkew.
I tried to test all your solutions several times, the last one can works always.
