Ok, I'm new to Splunk and new to unix.. I never thought I would miss Windows server but I do. Anyway, I'm trying to learn so I can manage our production environment and so I set up a fedora 22 box as a VM on my system to learn. All went well, after a lot of googling about different things, but a few things still don't work, and I have a few questions hoping someone may help.
1)Modified the bash file to include the Splunk bin directory in the path in my case /apps/splunk/bin I reboot and path is there, but doesn't work. I have to go to /apps/splunk/bin directory to do anything. Why?
2)At work all I have to do is type splunk status or whatever I want, on my home test system I have to type ./splunk status. Why?
3)My biggest issue is I can't connect to http://splunkserver:8000. Why? I checked firewall, that seems to be ok. I did a netstat it seems to say listening so I think it's ok. As part of Fedora, it installs this free ipa software that works on port 8089 and a using a web browser to that port that free IPA software loads, so I think maybe it's Splunk, but what? A splunk status says splunkweb is running, and again port 8000 says listening. What else could it be? I loaded version 6.0.1 as that's what we are running at work and I want to test a 6.3 upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.
