Hi,
Usually you'll need to append a slash to the URL - ie. http://server/xymon/ - otherwise you try to hit a file named xymon, which doesn't exist.

Hi
I re-installed Xymon but I still can't get anything on the web browser.
I get "Not Found. The requested URL /xymon was not found on this server"
Run 'Make & make install' again with no errors.
1) Added the content of file 'xymon-apache.conf' in 'httpd.conf'.
2) Created 'xymonpasswd' using '.htaccess' and placed it in /etc/httpd directory.
3) Edited 'xymon-apache.conf' file and modify location of xymonpasswd.
4) Commented out '#AuthGroupFile /opt/xymon/server/etc/xymongroups' in httpd.conf because I am not going to use it.
In fact I haven't figured out how to use it at the moment, so I will leave for another time.
When I checked the apache syntax (apachectl -t), I got the following warnings:
*)[Thu Oct 06 11:27:58 2011] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1010 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
*)[Thu Oct 06 11:27:58 2011] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1017 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
*)[Thu Oct 06 11:27:58 2011] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1025 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
*)Syntax OK
My 'xymonlaunch.log' looks like this:
2011-10-06 11:09:38 xymonlaunch starting

I can not see why it can't open 'tasks.cfg'.
The file is there and its owner is 'xymon' (created when asked during installation)
My 'alert.log' looks like this:

I can confirm that all the above files are located in /opt/xymon/server/etc directory.
The owner is 'apache' and they belong to the group 'xymon', except 'critical.cfg' which also owned by 'apache'.
My 'xymond.log' looks like this:

My 'xymongen.log' looks like this:

2011-09-26 11:25:36 Failed to load current Xymon status, aborting page-update
Sorry for the long message but if you have any more suggestions, please let me know.
Many thanks

Yanni,
All directives for xymon related apache directories ( including cgi-*
) are already included in xymon-apache.conf, so you need just to make
sure that the file itself is included into main apache config (
httpd.conf )
if you placed xymonpasswd into /etc/httpd/ folder - you need to edit
xymon-apache.conf file and modify location of the file.
Also - if not using groups for apache authentication - remove or
comment corresponding lines from xymon-apache.conf.
When done - check syntax of the config ( apachectl -t ) and restart
apache ( apachectl restart ) using root account.
Under user xymon - start server ( in your case
"/opt/xymon/server/xymon.sh start" )
if everything is OK - you should be able to see something at
http://YOURWEBHOST/xymon/
If something is not working - check log files ( apache or xymon )

Hi Alex
Please allow me to mention what I have done so far.
All xymon related directores (cgi-bin, cgi-secure, client, data, server,
webpages, xymon-cgi, xymon-seccgi) are inside
/opt/xymon.
After searching about configuring apache online, I found out that in order
for Apache to execute CGI scripts
I need to edit the "access.conf" file by adding a section like this:
<Directory /opt/xymon/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
I did that. Next I read that I should create a special location called alias
to the actual CGI directory and then edit my "httpd.conf" file and add the
line below:
'ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /opt/xymon/cgi-bin/'
I've done that as well.
Next I followed your instructions on the link you send me.
I run:
'htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/xymonpasswd admin' and entered password.
I finally found "xymon-apache.conf" and copied it to /etc/httpd/conf.d/
but I am a bit confused about the 'sed' command.
Is the directory at the end stops at 'httpd'?
Many thanks
Yanni

Yanni,
You need to include xymon-apache.conf file in your httpd.conf, it's
location depends on the system you are using and on how the Apache
server was installed ( from repository or compiled )
but before - make sure that xymonpasswd ( and probably
xymongroups ) files are created. ( read the config file :) )
Actually - it is a good idea to understand syntax of Apache config
files ( at least check directives used in xymon config on
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ ) ...
Also, I have some notes on installing xymon in AWS ( amazon ) cloud
that could be useful for you -

well

Hi everyone
I am junior sysadmin at a college and after a few failed attempts I
successfully installed Xymon. No errors appeared after running 'make'
and
'make install'.
At the moment I am trying to configure my web server(Apache/2.2.3 )
(which
is located on the same machine as xymon) and I am following the
instructions
on the "installing Xymon" link
(http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/install.html) but I can not really
understand what changes I have to make. It says on the link that I have
to
make the necessary additions to the apache configuration in
~/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf. What lines do I have to add/change and
where
can I find this file?
As you can understand my apache knowledge is limited, I only installed
it so
I can run Xymon. Could someone please help me?
Many thanks
