Hi,
I'm trying to install Splunk Enterprise on a Virtualbox VM running Ubuntu 16.04. I get the following error after starting Splunk (by running dpkg on the .deb download) for the first time and going through the licensing info:
Splunk> 4TW
Checking prerequisites...
Checking http port [8000]: open
Checking mgmt port [8089]: open
Checking appserver port [127.0.0.1:8065]: open
ERROR: pid 2132 terminated with signal 9
Checking kvstore port [8191]: open
Checking configuration... Done.
Checking critical directories... Done
ERROR: pid 2145 terminated with signal 9
Validating databases (splunkd validatedb) failed with code '-1'. If you cannot resolve the issue(s) above after consulting documentation, please file a case online at http://www.splunk.com/page/submit_issue
I have tried all the advice I could find online for this error:
- my user is added to the splunk group
- added line OPTIMISTIC_ABOUT_FILE_LOCKING = 1 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf
- set $SPLUNK_HOME through line SPLUNK_HOME = "/opt/splunk" in /etc/environment
Does anyone have any advice on what else to try, or if any of the above doesn't look right?
Thanks in advance
