Hi All,
Please help me. I am trying to upgrade splunk UF forwarder to recent version i.e 9.0.3. I have stopped splunk service and have used below commands :
Downloaded tar file as root user :
wget -O splunkforwarder-9.0.3-dd0128b1f8cd-Linux-x86_64.tgz "https://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/9.0.3/linux/splunkforwarder-9.0.3-d..."
Unzipped as splunk user :
tar xvfz splunkforwarder-9.0.3-dd0128b1f8cd-Linux-x86_64.tgz -C /opt
Running this as splunk user , tried as root user as well :
./splunk start -accept-license
But splunk start service is stopping here :
Error calling execve(): No such file or directory
Error launching command: Invalid argument
I have attached screenshot of what is happening, please help me with resolution.
I really appreciate your help.
Regards,
PNV
@gcusello - Thanks for your response.
Yes , I am running splunk start from bin directory and the command as
./splunk start --accept-license
Previous one in my comment was the typo.
I tried reinstall with tar file command you gave. Its still same. Any other workaround ?

Hi @Poojitha,
I suppose that you're running the installation command from the folder /opt/splunkforwarder/bin.
then the command is a little different than the one you used:
./splunk start --accept-license
then you can use a simpler command to untar but it shouldn't be a problem:
tar xvzf splunkforwarder_package_name.tgz
You can find more infos at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.0.3/Forwarder/Upgradetheuniversalforwarder#Upgrade...
Ciao.
