Re: [sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Problem

[Derrick K. <dk...@gm...>]

Hi Larry.

The package you installed is the old Autopsy 2.x package which is no
longer maintained.  Are you certain that is the version you want to
run or were you trying to run Autopsy 4.x which is the latest Java
based Autopsy?

If you are trying to run Autopsy 2.x, you need to start Autopsy as
root via 'sudo autopsy' or run it as your root account and then it
will bind correctly to tcp:9999.  ie:

  $ sudo autopsy
  $ sudo netstat -pan | grep 9999
  tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9999          0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      11923/perl
  $ pgrep autopsy
  11923

After it is bound correctly, you should be able to hit it with your web browser:

  http://localhost:9999/autopsy

I downloaded Sleuthkit and Autopsy with apt-get and everything seem find.  The binaries are there and seem to work fine. However when I start Autopsy I get a message inside a terminal window to send my browser to localhost:9999 autopsy, but my browser says that it can not make a connection.  Do I have to set up my local interface like I do for a wireless connection? Also looking at my running process after the terminal window with the message in it is still up there is no Autopsy process.
