@vijreddy30 - Please check for following things in order:

  • Check whether Splunk is running or not?
    • ./bin/splunk status (Run from Splunk installation folder / SplunkHome)
  • If Splunk is not active then
    • ./bin/splunk start (Start the Splunk service)
    • ./bin/splunk status (Check the Splunk status Again
  • Once completed and you still don't see the Splunk, look for issues in your splunkd.log file.

 

Just to point out in your web.conf, there is an extra a in front of privKeyPath.

 

Checking above should be able to help you find and fix the issue. I hope this helps!!!

You should check for SSL issues in your internal splunk log (%SPLUNK_HOME%/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log)

Search for the keywords SSL, the name of your private key and the name of your certificate

Your screenshot shows a different location of certificates as the locations that are configured in your web.conf for private key and certificate.
