Why doesn't the Splunk web Port 8001 doesn't work in the browser?

[sravankaripe]

I have installed splunk in EC2(ubuntu) and started Splunk.

I have changed web.conf to
cat /splunk/splunk/etc/system/local/web.conf
[default]

[settings]
httpport = 8001

and restarted

But I am not able to see Splunk web port in the browser
http://ip-XXX-XX-XX-XXXX:8001

Please help me with this

root@ip-XXX-XX-XX-XXX:/opt/splunk/bin# ./splunk start

Sounds like your EC2 security group needs to allow the port outbound to your client system. Basically, sounds like firewall stuff.
