Unable to access splunk web - license warnings - trial version

Hi,

I just installed a trial version of splunk and I am unable to access web. I see the following messages :

None of those messages are license warnings. All are INFO and can be ignored (unless you expect to connect via proxy).

Please explain what exactly you are trying to do, how exactly you are trying to do it, and the exact error message(s) you get in response.

Please note, I have not changed any config file... I am not even sure why is it complaining of Failed to initialize http_proxy when I have not even configured it

I am unable to access :

http://SPLUNKSRV001.test.lab.com:8000/

SPLUNKSRV001 is where I have installed splunk and when I start splunk it says

Have you tried http://127.0.0.1:8000?

Splunk looks for a proxy as part of its startup process. The INFO messages reported as part of that process can be ignored.

Got it working...

It was the firewalld on the server that had to be configured...

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Thanks for all your help
