Installation

Why am I getting a "Not Found" error when I start Splunk Enterprise

When I start Splunk Enterprise, I only get a "Not Found" Error. It says "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.". I've tried installing multiple times and it still refuses to start.

I found a solution. If another service is blocking port 8000, splunk uses the next free port 8001

You can find the right port by starting splunk at the commandline:

C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin>splunk.exe start

Splunk> Be an IT superhero. Go home early.

Checking prerequisites...
        Checking http port [8001]: open
        Checking mgmt port [8089]: open
        Checking appserver port [127.0.0.1:8065]: open
        Checking kvstore port [8191]: open

I've tried this as well as I'm getting an error every time I try to open Splunk Enterprise on my laptop. It was working fine a few weeks ago (I'm using the free trial for a course, however i know it hasn't been 60 days as of yet), but has suddenly decided to stop working properly. I tried the proposed solution, however it said that it was unable to run on my PC. Nothing about my firewall settings has changed as far as I am aware, so I can't seem to think of anything else that would be doing this. Tried to make my own post but apparently cannot for whatever reason.

Disabling the firewall doesn't help. I still get the 404 Error.

I have got the same Problem with 6.2.1 & 6.2.2 on two different PCs with Windows 7 German 64 Bit

The 6.1.6 Version works. Any Idea?

Has Splunk any Logfiles to search for the problem?

The list of what Splunk Enterprise logs about itself is in the Troubleshooting Manual: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Troubleshooting/WhatSplunklogsaboutitself. Perhaps python.log, web_service.log, or splunkd_ui_access.log.

I found no errors in the mentioned logfiles. The 404 Error does not appear in the logfiles.

Are you starting it from the command line? Check to see if the splunkweb service is running.

On 6.2.1 there is no separate splunkweb process or service.

Hi @andrewkwhite

Could you provide more details so users on here can better assist you? What Splunk version did you install? What OS and browser? etc.
