Installation

Web server not starting

First time installing Splunk. I tried to reinstall the Splunk and web server is still not starting. I also need to change the mgmt port number as the previous one is still using the default port and I have no idea how to disable the previous session. 

 

./splunk start

Try the below link and download the Splunk enterprise full version and install it. And Remove the existing package.

Hi @Herman ,

 

It looks like your not installing the Splunk enterprise version your installing the Splunk universal forwarder agent.

Are you trying to install the Splunk or Splunk agent?

Really? But I remember I downloaded Splunk Enterprise for macOS. I downloaded both .tgz and .dmg hoping one of them would start the webserver, but neither of them work. It justs doesn't have the web server and app server like other people do. I have been trying to figure out why.
