Unable to start splunk

jessica_uditore — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:32:54 GMT

I installed Splunk on a CentOS virtual machine 6 with the rpm package during the installation I had no problem.
Splunk is installed in the / opt / splunk and it says you have to start it using the command / opt / splunk / bin / splunk start, but I got this as output:-bash: / opt / splunk / bin / splunk: / lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
What should I do?

That looks a little like the error you get when trying to run splunkd.

To start it and to be absolutely sure we're talking about the same method;
navigate to /opt/splunk/bin
Once there type;
./splunk start
including the "." at the start of the command. Let us know if that works.

Have you sudo'ed before trying to run the command?

Is it 32bit or 64bit OS and which version of Splunk did you install?

It's 32 bit and I choose the 32 rpm package (http://www.splunk.com/index.php/download_track?file=4.2.4/splunk/linux/splunk-4.2.4-110225.i386.rpm&platform=Linux&architecture=x86&version=4.2.4&typed=release&name=linux_installer&d=pro)

Ok, so at the command line try;

yum list installed glibc

In that list should be glibc.i686, if it isn't then type;

yum install glibc.i686

You downloaded the wrong architecture. Get the proper 32 or 64 bit for your system.
