Hello all,
Installed splunk-6.3.2-aaff59bb082c-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm today on RHEL 7.2 and could not get it to start. Received the following error:
[root@splunk bin]# ./splunk start
The value of env var SPLUNK_OS_USER, "splunkuser", does not match any user on this system;
Error : Success.: Success
Please run 'splunk ftr' as boot-start user
/opt/splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf has default value of
SPLUNK_OS_USER=splunkuser
...changed value to (since there is a 'splunk' user and NOT 'splunkuser' user)
SPLUNK_OS_USER=splunk
and was able to start successfully. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention.
