Hi,

Server: RedHat 6.4

Splunk was installed successfully, but I cannot access Splunk web server through a web browser. I changed the port, but it didn't make any change.

Edit:
I changed the port to a different one and now it is working. Not sure what was wrong with the previous ports I tried.

Thanks for the help.

I assume the data center uses a firewall, do you have the proper port open for splunk web?

Try running the following command to ensure you're using the correct port:
./splunk show web-port

Also check /splunk/etc/system/local/web.conf to see if there are any discrepancies.

$./splunk show web-port
Splunk username: XXXX
Password:
Web port: 8003

web.conf:

Is this a local machine or is it hosted in a cloud environment?

Have you opened up port 8000 in an EC2 Security group? Splunk automatically enables splunkweb, so you shouldn't have the need to create a web.conf file.

It is a virtual machine and it is hosted in a Data Center.

Is splunkweb running? It may have stopped if there was a port conflict. Run ./splunk status to find out if it's running.
