I have just installed Splunk (Windows - 64-bits), and when it tries to start Splunk, it returns the following error: "HTTP 404 Not Found". The web page that is trying to open is "http://localhost:8000/". Could you tell me what web page I have to open?

This does sound strange.

I would start a commandline in C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin, and issue the command "Splunk status".
This should return a status of Started, otherwise do a "Splunk start" and look for error messages.

When I am sure Splunk is started I would do a "netstat -ano", and see if Splunk is listening on the expected ports, you might want to pipe the result into a findstring with Splunks PID, which you can find in the file conf-mutator in var/splunk.

If Splunk is listening on port 8000, and you still can't get it to show in your browser, something is blocking the connection ie a firewall or something similar.

I have it installen on a Win 7 machine myself, even though it is not really supported, it works fine for me.

Kind regards

thanks for the feedback. solved with commandline splunk.exe restart and splunk.exe restart splunkweb
then changed port to 8002
ciao

[passarelli]

first workaround was change with http://localhost:8001 but after a new installation this is not working anymore (win 10, IE11, Splunk version 6.5.2) error page can’t be displayed

[malmoore]

"Page cannot be displayed" is different than "Page not found".

The former usually results from IE not being able to load the page because it can't connect to the web server, either due to a firewall, the web process not running, or a fault in the network stack.

"Page not found" means that IE was able to contact the web server, asked it to load a page, and the web server couldn't find that page.

Did you try the actual IP address of the machine where you are running it? For example, http://127.0.0.1:8000?

If nothing seems to be working, please provide more information about where you installed the software and how you are starting it.

[jmallorquin]

Have you disabled the firewall?

[malmoore]

Typically a firewall being up wouldn't resort in a 404 error, it would result in not being able to contact the web server at all.

[LUIS3802]

Windows 7
I have Administrator rigths.
I have uninstalled and installed again the application ( I did that before raising the issue), and it still doesn't work

[malmoore]

Hmm...and what version and type of Splunk are you installing?

We don't actually support Splunk Enterprise on Windows 7 (though we do support Splunk Free, Splunk Trial, and the universal forwarder.)

[LUIS3802]

Splunk Enterprise.

I will try with Splunk Free.

Thank you very much

[malmoore]

The only other thing I could think of at this point is to drop the last / in the URL.

http://localhost:8000

But, I don't think that's the reason why you aren't seeing a page.

If you wouldn't mind posting a couple log files for me, we could trace it that way.

Hi,

What version of Windows is this?

My first inclination would be to uninstall and reinstall and see what happens. Make sure that you are performing the installation as a local Administrator or equivalent.

Please try that and report back.

Thanks.

[LUIS3802]

Unfourtunatelly, I didn't work.
I have installed in the path proposed by the installation program: C:\Program Files\Splunk\
I start the program from: Start\All Programs\Splunk Enterprise\Splunk Enterprise

[ChrisG]

You need to start it from the command line. See Start Splunk Enterprise for the first time in the Installation Manual.

[LUIS3802]

I have done and the result is the same
