Splunk REST API Connection Refused after upgrading to Splunk 5

I know this is probably something simple, but for some reason after upgrading my local instance of splunk to version 5, I get denied anytime I try and connect to the REST API via https://localhost:8089/. I used to be able to connect to port 8089 just fine.

I'm getting a connection denied error, and am not sure why. Even though I've got some https:// sites running locally in IIS, I've stopped the sites.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I could go about resolving this?

Any help/feedback/suggestions are much appreciated!

So I figured it out. For some reason when I upgraded to splunk 5, my <SplunkRoot>/etc/system/local/web.conf file had the mgmtHostPort changed from 8089 to 8090.

Therefore, instead of https://localhost:8089, it's, well, you know....https://localhost:8090. Doh!
