Hi Craig,


How can I give read permission to apache user?

My “www” and “web” folder is present in the path “/home/xymon/server/www”

If find apache from root then following output I got:

/usr/sbin/apachectl


[root at RHEL5 sbin]# pwd

/usr/sbin

[root at RHEL5 sbin]# ls -lrt apachectl

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3916 Jul 15  2009 apachectl

[root at RHEL5 sbin]#


Also Kindly let me know "how accessing a simple /index.html in my root web
directory"


With Regards,
Jayanta.

Yes that is what was meant, thanks for elaborating Paul.

Jayanta, have you tried just accessing a simple /index.html in your root
web directory to make sure your apache user can access it? I normally use
Redhat or Fedora and keep the default directory at /var/www/html for the web
root and the file Xymon provided placed as Paul mentions sorts out allowing
apache access to the subdirectories which in my case are installed under
/usr/local which apache has read on.

Regards,
Craig

No, that's not what was stated.

You need the original httpd.conf file. It lives in /etc/httpd/conf
Then you put the hobbit-apache.conf file, named as is, into
/etc/httpd/conf.d. This is a directory for additional config files.

I still think your problem is file and directory ownership. Your web
directory, which I'm going to guess is
/home/hobbit/server/www is owned by the xymon or hobbit user. Next your web
server is being run by apache, and apache has no permissions to get to
/home/hobbit/server/www.

You need to do one of a couple of things. The best of which is to get
apache and xymon users in the same group and have the web directory and it's
files in that group.  This is basic Unix admin stuff, not an issue with
Xymon.

Hi Craig,

If i put the whole file(hobbit-apache.conf) in the /etc/httpd/conf/ path
and rename it into httpd.conf and restart the service httpd then its getting
failed.

apache, its easier to update it in the future if you keep the file separate.

Hi Henrik,


I already appended following:

#cat /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbit-apache.conf >>
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

After that I restart apache.
Still i am facing following error.

With Regards,
Jayanta.

        Make sure you have configured Apache with the configuration
        provided in the $XYMONHOME/etc/xymon-apache.conf, and done a
        reload of the Apache configuration.
