Is a completely fresh install, or an upgrade?

An Fresh install but I removed the older version and installed the newer one .

Can you share some details on the install? What platform are you on (linux, windows, etc.)? What is the method of removal that you used? What was the method of installation of the old version as well as 5.0?

In addition to what Matt asked for - if you really want to do a fresh install, you should 1) uninstall, 2) delete the splunk installation directory, 3) install.

I installed in on linux. I was able to remove the error by removing all the folders and re installing it again.

Might as well mark this as answered... Sounds like this was a partial uninstall, meaning the product was uninstalled but the directories/some files were not removed, and this left the configuration in an odd state after reinstall.

The solution was to delete the Splunk directory (after uninstall), and THEN reinstall.

I had problems to start Splunk 5 with the port 8089 after uninstalling 4.3 and install 5. Splunk start was reporting that the port 8089 was bound and cannot be used. After restart Linux, the ./splunk start worked smoothly and the issue was solved. I am not sure, but, this error might be caused when I installed the product or delete the splunk dir without stopping services (splunkd and splunkweb) and the mentioned port perhaps was blocked by the old splunk process.

Yes if you delete Splunk while the process is still running the port will continue to be bound.
