Hi,

I've just installed Splunk Enterprise and when I try to log in for the first time by clicking on the 'Launch browser with Splunk Enterprise' button, I get the following message on the address 'http://localhost:8000/': HTTP 404 Not Found.

Please help me access the page.

Thank you

Try using the FQDN for your machine rather than localhost. Also, did you enable SSL? You may need to use https vs http.

Disable your firewall (or allow port 8000).

Depends on your operating system, but perhaps Google is a better place to ask this question since we dont know what platform you are running on :

Is this a single-instance installation? What operating system? Is Splunk Enterprise actually running? See Start Splunk Enterprise for the first time in the Installation Manual.

Make sure you are using the correct port and have the correct permissions:
