Unable to start splunkd service

[zaheerc786]

I am first time user and i am unable to start splunkd service, i tried different credentials under log on but i am still getting the following error.

"Windows could not start the splunkd service on local compuiter. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly"

The other service splunkwed is working fine. Please suggest.

I ran into this. In my case it was because I had changed the account that the splunkd service ran under and had to add that account to Administrators on that PC.

In my case restarting the machine fixed it...

Did you ever get this figured out? I am getting this same error.
