I'm having a similar problem and need some help with this please.
system Running:
SDNController:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
after installing the controller, i couldn't login via web service because of an certificate error (tried it with Chrome and Firefox):
"hp van sdn controller ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH"
and after correcting it, and as shown below the installation went ok, i still cant login. I dont even see the port 8443 open
SDNController:~$ sudo dpkg -l hp-sdn-ctl

Now after trying to https://xxxxxxxxxx:8443/sdn/ui/ I get:
"ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
This is what i see in stdout log:
SDNController:~$ sudo less /var/log/sdn/admin/stdout.log

i find it a bit confusing to check the logs and problems that come along the installation, here is another output, to be honest im not sure i understand the binding (por 9160), as i didnt read the controller architecture.
