check if not config regarding web was changed by using btool.

./splunk btool web list --debug
OR this to ignore system/default attributes
./splunk btool web list --debug | grep -v system/default

startwebserver should be = 1
Post the btool result here if you need help with it.

@bhupalbobbadi,

Are there any errors on the console? Check the splunkd and web_service logs in /var/log/splunk and look for errors

He/she is using RHEL, "net stop" and "net start" are for windows as far I remember correctly.
