I didn't have a web.conf at step one of your instructions, so I made it with the K/V pair, my Splunk still didn't work. I ran the two cmds(one by one), a license agreement came up instead of the results of the cmds, I typed y, and the original error msg came up again, Unable to retrieve splunkd management port using '/Applications/Splunk/bin/splunkd local-rest-uri -p 8089' ...

Yeah, it's my personal Splunk.  I'm taking a training and trying to follow along.  I'm using an old Mac, 10.12 or 13, I think.  Splunk prob doesn't support lower than 10.14.  But it says it's installed successfully and I have an icon on my desktop.  It self-installed and i never had to select ports, it seems something went wrong with port assignment.  Thanks. ...

Well, I am using Mac.  So I tried this cmd: /Applications/Splunk/bin/splunk show web-port I said yes to the agreement, and I get these error msg's: subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/Applications/Splunk/bin/splunkd', 'local-rest-uri', '-p', '8089']' died with <Signals.SIGABRT: 6>. The second error msg is: During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: splunk.clilib.control_exceptions.ConfigError: ("Unable to retrieve splunkd management port using '/Applications/Splunk/bin/splunkd local-rest-uri -p 8089': ",) Google is not much help.  Thanks a lot for your help so far. ...
