Why is splunkweb not starting after a new Splunk installation on Windows 8 64-bit?

[Aswin_A]

I am new to splunk and i downloaded and installed splunk in my windows 8 OS-64 bit. After installation Splunkd is working but splunkweb fails to start. I have tried starting, but no success. Restarting the splunkweb service does the same thing. It is running for few seconds and it stops. Please advise.

In splunk 6.2...the splunkweb service has been incorporated into the splunkd service.

Which version of Splunk did you install?

[Aswin_A]

Splunk6.2.1

splunkweb is no longer included in 6.2. It's all rolled into splunkd. So there's no need to worry about splunkweb not starting. That is by design. Thanks.
