I followed these (two!) guides for making a Twitter input and have checked everything thrice:
http://blogs.splunk.com/2014/07/03/splunking-social-media-tracking-tweets/ and
http://discoveredintelligence.ca/stream-twitter-splunk-10-simple-steps/
Additionally, I downloaded a Twitter App onto Splunk that needed no configuration and it isn't receiving any data either. I've also been getting unknown error codes in splunkd.log:

I altered some of the HTML coding so it displayed properly. I also forwarded ports 8000 and 8089 which didn't affect anything. Would a DNS server affect this?
Please, help! Any advice will be appreciated!
