Local host refused to connect

cscott — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:29:52 GMT

I am unable to connect to the SPLUNK server for my 60-day trial. I was able to connect yesterday but today I am unable to connect and am getting the following message: "Hmmm... can't reach this page. localhost refused to connect" when I entered: http://localhost:8000/en-US/account/login?return_to=%2Fen-US%2F I called Norton and they stated that the firewall is not denying access but the problem is on the SPLUNK server end. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hi @cscott

might be chance that Splunk was down,

from command prompt
cd C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin

run following command

splunk status ---> if this output shows splunk not running start splunk using below command

splunk start
