Attempt to change default port

I've successfully installed Xymon 4.3.21, but tried to change it from the
default port of 1984 by changing the XYMONDPORT variable in
xymonserver.cfg.  Unfortunately, this turned the cpu, disk, files, etc. all
purple.  The bbd, conn, http, and xymon status' are all green..  Is there
something else I need to change to be able to run Xymon from another port?

Thanks,

David

Purple means it isn't getting data.

Your client(s) aren't sending to the proper port would be my thought.

Josh,

Thanks for the reply, but what client?  I haven't even added any yet!  If
you mean the server as a client, I already changed the XYMONDPORT
variable.  Is there some other variable that needs to be changed?  To me,
changing this variable should allow everything related to the server to
work on a different port.

The only way I've ever been able to make it work on another port is by
changing '1984' everywhere in the C code and remaking the system.  I was
hoping not to have to do that this time.  Is there some other configuration
setting I'm missing?

David

The server install also installs the client.  The client reports disk,
file, memory, etc tests.

Josh,

I knew that, but assumed it was all based out of the server directory.
Turns out, based on your observation, that I had to actually start the
client (after making sure that XYMONDPORT was set in clientlaunch.cfg)!

I think what confused me is that my "client" software is based on a totally
different directory with extension scripts, etc., and I hadn't even
installed it on this server.  Thanks, Josh, for reminding me that the
server has it's own "client", even if it did make me feel like a noob!  lol
