Error trying to configure "Forwarding and receiving"

[alexrodriguez]

Hi,

I'm quite new to Splunk and I get an strange error that I'm unable to find out any help. Basically, when trying to configure the receiving section from "Forwarding and receiving" I get an error like:

URL: myserver/en-US/manager/launcher/data/inputs/tcp/cooked

500 Internal Server Error

Return to Splunk home page

An error occurred while rendering the
page template. See web_service.log for
more details

This page was linked to from
myserver/en-US/manager/launcher/forwardreceive.

I have checked the web_service.log file but there is nothing that can help me to understand where the error comes from. Also, if I use the search link no records/events are found.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

Thanks for your help.

I have two options, configure or add new. The error is shown when I try to click the configure option. I'm trying to use the default one, port 9997.

What port are you trying to use for receiving?
