Splunk Enterprise

Hey guys,

So i'm having issues with getting my Splunk web 8.2.7.1 open on my local Windows server after placing my SSL certs. I followed the documentation surrounding it. Took the passphrase off my private key, got my web.conf pointing to my privatekey and servercert, but I still get 'this page can't be displayed' when opening Splunk.

[settings]
enableSplunkWebSSL = true
httpport = 443
privKeyPath = D:\DEV\Splunk\etc\auth\mycerts\SplunkCert.key
serverCert = D:\DEV\Splunk\etc\auth\mycerts\SplunkCert.nokey.pem
startwebserver = 1

Even checking the web service log I don't see any errors that would prevent it. Could you guys help me please?
