Hi,

I am kicking myself for not knowng this but I'll ask anyway.

Just completed an install of xymon on rhel3, no problems. I choose to
use the el3 xymon rpm.

After it installed I tried to access the web page via
http://localhost/xymon but I can only see the directories not the web
page.

what am I not doing.

Successfull install --->
rpm -ivh xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm xymon-client-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm

At this point, you should start xymon with:
# service xymon start
or similar

web page for localhost/xymon --->

bb.html, index.html etc. are created by the bbgen task of xymon ... and those
only run if hobbitlaunch is running, which is (ultimately) started by the
/etc/init.d/xymon script.

Buchan
