(DTS) New installation of Xymon on CentOS 6.5 64 bit on Dell T105 server 🔗 link

I have loaded a clean CentOS 6.5 on my Dell T-105 64-bit server.
I have downloaded Xymon 4.3.15 to test with.
I created user xymon and group xymon on the system.
I install the system in /home/xymon on the server:
    ./configure
     ...
     All the defaults except that apache is run by apache not nobody

    make
    make install

I copy over the init.d script and edit the path to /home/xymon
I copy over the xymon-apache.conf file to /etc/httpd/conf.d directory
I get:
Not Found

The requested URL /xymon was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at 192.168.200.151 Port 80

I added the "include /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon-apache.conf" to the end of
httpd.cof/etc/init.d/httpd reload    or  restartbut still the same problemI
remove the xymon-apache.conf file and add the information to the bottom of
the httpd.conf filestill the same problemI did a chmod for the entire xymon
path from /home /home/xymon etc to 777 rwxrwxrwsto see if the screen would
come upI still cannot get the xymon main screen to come upI even added the
Allow from 127.0.0.1    Satisfy Any to the end of the last section from the
Kaltura CE V5.0 online documentationSame problem
I did also try just for kicks:    1.  Added the bash shell to apache entry
in /etc/passwd    2.  Installed xymon in /var/www which is the home
directory for apache    3.  I could bring up the main screen with http://
<server-ip>/xymon    4.  but when you clicked on any of the icons, they
could not find the screen to bring up
I have been using the 4.3.0-0 beta release for 4 years with very little
problems but now I wish to create a latest and greatest version so that I
can port all my custom scripting.  At my old employer I monitored over
1,200 devices on a Dell Server.I wanted to allow some of the routines that
I have created to be shared but I cannot bring up my own server to test and
upgrade the scripts.
I am at a loss at this point!Please let me know where there is a complete
installation HOW-TO for CentOS  6.5 for Xymon.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!!!Thank You,TomSin Union KY

Did you restart httpd or apachectl graceful ?

Also, by default I believe the included apache snippet only rewrites
"/xymon/", and not "/xymon"... Have you tried with the trailing slash?

Check the apache error log to see what it doesn't like.  Also see the error
log when you query /xymon/dummy and make sure that it says something like
"File does not exist: /home/xymon/www/dummy" (or whatever makes sense)
including the xymon/www directory.  If instead it shows another directory,
then your .conf file is not being included.

I did a chmod for the entire xymon path from /home /home/xymon etc to 777
rwxrwxrwsto see if the screen would come up

Probably best not to do this.

I tried http://<server>/xymon. xymon/   xymon/index.html.  and I get
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /xymon/ on this server.
Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at 192.168.200.151 Port 80 I did
/etc/init.d/httpd restart.  And.  reload. Still cannot engage the software If
you think of anything else send it I was thinking of changing xymon to the
apache group and changing all the group ownerships to apache?Do you think
it might work? Is there a problem with the newer apache server version?
ThanksTomS

Tom, Is SELinux running on your system?
To find out, # sestatus
If Current mode is set to enforcing, then

1)      # setenforce 0

2)      # sestatus

3)      Current mode should now be set to permissive

4)      See if it works
