Hi Guys and Gals.
I am busy moving my POC Xymon server to a full time dedicated server. I
have been using my Ubuntu Distro for development and testing and would
like to install the server CentOS. I have a look at the installation
instructions on the Wiki about CentOS spcifics but it seems bit
outdated. For example it still creates a Hobbit user and so on. Can
anyone here give me some pointers so I can avoid a lot of frustration.
Install the packages from a repo:
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/xymon/
# yum install xymon
# service xymon start
Some files are in slightly different places than if you install manually, in
order to comply with packaging standards, so configs in /etc/xymon, data in
/var/lib/xymon, xymon home directory is /usr/lib*/xymon, with symlinks to keep
it consistent.
