For PC compliance safety, I tried to disable port 8089 by modifying server.conf, but I could not log in to the web portal any more after disabling it.

What is port 8089 for ? Can I disable it?

You basically will close all communication to the Splunk API doing that. Have a look here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Admin/Serverconf and search for "8089".

If you're concern with security, use a local firewall on the server to prevent unauthorized access to that port.
