Issue with 4.3 RC1

The "extra" xymon is supposed to be there. It is what tells your web server
were to look for your web pages. Your configuration file for Apache should
contain something like this:

Alias /xymon/  "/usr/local/xymon/server/www/"
<Directory "/usr/local/xymon/server/www">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Which tells Apache to look at /usr/local/xymon/server/www whenever it sees
"xymon". There are similar entries for xymon-cgi and cgi-secure.

Check you web server logs, I'm almost positive you find that Apache cannot
access the web page files.

Thanks,

 I don’t see how permissions would create the web page links with the
extra /xymon/ as part of the link.


For example the xymon web page comes up, but the Main view link shows
“/xymon/xymon.html” instead of just “xymon.html”. I don’t know why xymon is
adding the extra path. Any paths with xymon-cgi work without any problems.


Thank you,

Tom

I suspect that you'll find that you have some overly strict permission
settings on your web files. I had a similar problem when I installed RC1 and
relaxing the permissions so that the Apache user (usually "nobody") can read
the files fixed the problem. You will probably want to make sure that the
xymon user account has a umask no more restrictive than 022. Also, if this
is a new OS install, make sure selinux is turned off.

This is a brand new install on a newly created server.

I am doing some testing with the new RC1 release

How did you install? Over a previous release?

and I am having trouble
with the xymon web page. It does come up, but it seems to be adding a
/xymon/ in front of the directories so the web is not picking up the
stylesheets.

[..]

# URL for Xymon webpages

XYMONHOSTURL = /

# URL for Xymon CGIs

XYMONCGIURL = /xymon-cgi

# URL for Xymon Admin CGIs

SECUREXYMONCGIURL = /xymon-seccgi

# Webserver group-ID

HTTPDGID=apache

Check the XYMON.*URL entries in your xymonserver.cfg file.
