Assuming that splunkweb is configured to use the default port 8000, and you did not see anything insightful in the logs that sowings has mentioned, then try test starting up splunkweb with the following commands in $SPLUNK_HOME:
# cd splunk
# . bin/setSplunkEnv
# bin/python lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/root.py start
If splunkweb fails to start using this method, you should see errors, otherwise you should only see a blinking cursor.
For example, in this case there was permission issues with the cpdispatch file:
