Using the Splunk Enterprise Trial, why is localhost:8000 not getting loaded?

I am using a Splunk Enterprise Trial and Splunk Web http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/launcher/home is not getting loaded.

Are you sure splunk is running?

Try running.
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/./splunk status

hi,
splunkd not yet started

go to CLI , write $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk startor $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunkd start or use restart to replace start`.

if splunkd already already running? write $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk restart

after go http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/launcher/home

it's going to work

If ya have ZoneAlarm / Malewarebytes etc on your windoze platform, Or runnin' a VEE EMM , Go into Services settings and Put Splunkd on Automatic(delayed Start) or put in Manual Start as above ..... If you are using many of the cool new Splunk apps like PCAP FILES ... , be sure to set SPLUNK_HOME C:\Programfiles... yadayada \bin ....

I have the same problem and have tried the solution above, but it is still not working. I have Windows 10 home 64 bit. Is it a reason?

I was getting connection refused in the browser. I was able to start splunk in Windows Services, but received the following errors when attempting the CLI method. Any idea why? I was not logged in as an admin.

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

Thanks, I was wondering about that. In some of the other user groups I post in age of the original post isn't a problem. I'll post this as a new question.

I had a similar problem from opening the splunk web to having Access denied when starting splunk in cmd.

Solution worked for me-
Open cmd as administrator. Go to Splunk bin path (i.e. C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin) from cmd.

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

mjscoggins,

Your path showed me how to restart Splunk. I can now connect and login to Enterprise localhost.

Thank you,

Thank you! it was very useful. I am now able to start SPLUNK, although the default port should be changed to 8001 on the link.

Thanks

Localhost:8001 worked for me and not the default :8000 page that opened after installing it through the GUI. After doing some digging I saw that another process was already listening on that port so, Splunk must have incremented the port by one.

I would test 8000-8005!
