I am trying to browse the Splunk console using <A href="http://:8000" target="test_blank">http://:8000</A> after the daemon is started and it gives the request timed out error in the browser. What could be the reason? Any help is appreciated.</P> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 09:08:47 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242680#M9123 harishmeetsu 2016-08-23T09:08:47Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242681#M9124 <P>I meant to say "<A href="http://servername:8000">http://servername:8000</A>"</P> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 12:24:52 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242681#M9124 harishmeetsu 2016-08-23T12:24:52Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242682#M9125 <P>What does the splunkd.log say? </P> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 18:22:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242682#M9125 Raghav2384 2016-08-23T18:22:59Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242683#M9126 <P>Also, are you attempting to connect from within the same Linux VM setup or outside from another host? You could be dealing with a firewall blocking you out. Ensure you have enabled that port in your firewall setup.</P> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 18:55:39 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242683#M9126 jeremiahc4 2016-08-23T18:55:39Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242684#M9127 <P>Let's start with basic troubleshooting:</P> <UL> <LI>Check to see if splunk is running: <CODE>ps -ef | grep splunk</CODE></LI> <LI>Check to see if splunk is running on the port you think it is: <CODE>netstat -tulpn</CODE></LI> </UL> <P>Which OS are you using?<BR /> If you are using CentOS, check to make sure firewalld is not started and also check to see if selinux is running. Disable those and see if you can see if Splunk Web works then.</P> <P>You can also comment on which user you installed Splunk as, anything but root without the actual requirement of being a separate user might be your issue also.</P> <P>Let's start there and then see what we can find out!</P> <P>-Kristerpher</P> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 19:06:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Getting-request-timed-out-error-when-I-launch-the-Splunk-console/m-p/242684#M9127 sirkgm14vg 2016-08-23T19:06:16Z
