I assume by now you figured out that the webserver is not enabled.
If it is still an issue do the following:
cd c:\program files\splunk\bin
splunk stop
splunk enable webserver
splunk start
When Splunk starts up you will see that there are two ports being opened instead of one; the mgmt port 8089 and the http port 8000
If I'm told 'access is denied' what then ?
perfect answer. Thanks a lot!!!!
Is it a local system installation ?
Do you have ssl enabled for web ? then try https
Is firewall enabled which blocks 8000 ?
Yes it is local system installation.
Yes, I tried but it doesn't work.
I also checked if there are connections with the port 800 by running netstat -an | select-string 8000 and there aren't
If the netstat is not showing 8000, then splunk is also not listening to that. Is Splunk running and have you changed the port ?
No, everything is default
Ok can you restart and what's the last message in the console about splunkweb start? Also look at the splunkd.log to see if there are any errors reported
I checked the splunkd.log snd there is no reference to "splunkweb start"
Still feels that the port is not listening or blocked. Restart splunk from the command line, recheck the port the web is connecting to - 8000,8001,8002. Also check the web_service log
I did checked with the windows firewall turned off.
Follow These steps:
Open cmd as Administrator
C:\Windows\system32> cd
C:\Windows\system32> cd C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin
C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin>splunk start
