Why can the endpoint not be started? Insuffient privileges? Port already in use? Check in /var/logs</P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 07:16:28 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-troubleshoot-why-the-URL-endpoint-for-HTTP-Event/m-p/243738#M47183 Sebastian2 2016-01-21T07:16:28Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-troubleshoot-why-the-URL-endpoint-for-HTTP-Event/m-p/243739#M47184 <P>I would think so. Is port 8088 available on your server? Have you checked splunkd.log to see whether it contains any further details as to why you cannot enable the HTTP input listener?</P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 07:17:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-troubleshoot-why-the-URL-endpoint-for-HTTP-Event/m-p/243739#M47184 s2_splunk 2016-01-21T07:17:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-troubleshoot-why-the-URL-endpoint-for-HTTP-Event/m-p/243740#M47185 <P>I enabled 8088 but it was already used in apache. I didn't notice it.<BR /> I was stupid... Thank you, guys!!
