Hi All

I am using nginx instead of apache with xymon.
I set it up using the link
http://timedoctor.org/2010/09/setting-up-xymonhobbit-with-nginx/

I am using nginx with xymon_4.3.12_amd64.deb from sourceforge.

To make the cgi links work I needed to create symlinks as the link above
suggested.

/usr/lib/xymon/xymon-cgi -> /usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin
/usr/lib/xymon/xymon-seccgi -> /usr/lib/xymon/cgi-secure

Is that how everyone using it with nginx?

Please advise.
I wrote that article a long time ago. Looks like my friend updated his
blog to have a rather annoying theme :-)

I can't comment further as I needed to bring up Xymon on a test box and
I didn't want to use Apache. That seemed to work at the time. Scanning
the config again it doesn't seem completely out of place, but that
symlink solution was a hack that probably could have been avoided.
