Dear Stefano,

I have reinstalled it but this is not the proper solution right if i do mistake in configuring then everything will go right. Any other method to resolve this problem. Or is the problem because we are using the amazon ec2

[stefano_guidoba]

Errors like yours point to a wrong configuration of your Splunk instance.
Try, like the other user, to reinstall it and change one configuration file at a time to see what's causing this mess.

Regards,
Stefano

Yes i reinstalled and it worked properly. Still the reason for problem is Dark.

[stefano_guidoba]

have you messed up with Splunk configuration files?
This error message is not very explanatory.
