Can't connect to http://myserver:8000 on fresh install CentOS7

[amanogue]

I've just installed latest splunk on a fresh minimal CentOS 7 installation.

Installation process showed no warnings or errors. Everything seems to be OK. I ran the init script command and i can see both ports (8000 & 8089) listening but I can't connect to splunk's web.

This is the output for "status".

Can you see something wrong?

According to the log: your Splunk webserver was listening on loopback only.

If you're connecting from localhost to localhost on 8000 that's okay.

If not:

ncat -v saysplunk 8000
Ncat: Version 7.50 ( https://nmap.org/ncat )
Ncat: Connected to <IP>:8000.

check your local firewall or SELINUX settings

Thx.

Now CentOS 7 manage conections trough firewalld instead iptables.

Now web interface is working.

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8000/tcp
