Installed Splunk 6.6 on Windows 10. However, unable to start Web UI using URL localhost:8000. Error displayed on browser

Please respond.
Thank you,

Thank you Anusuya...
Your solution really worked....
As mentioned in my post, I faced same issue. When I checked in the web.conf under etc\system\local, it turned out that httpport is set as 8002, and not the standard 8000. Not sure how this happened, but when I changed the url to port 8002, it started working. As I said, no idea about the reason behind, but accessing port 8002 (or whatever is there in web.conf) seems to work. Hope this helps you as well.
was splunk install clean? any messages during install?
is splunk up and running?
