Can't start after 4.2.3 to 4.3.4 upgrade 🔗 link

I'm seeing things like this in /var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log on my
system after upgrading from 4.2.3 to 4.3.4.  Any advise?

Looks like your home directory is defined wrong. That happened in configure.

Basically, xymonlaunch can't find the tasks to startup.

Set the PATH variable in your xymomserver.cfg file to include the ~xymon/server/bin, probably /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin.

Thanks for the reply.  I have it mostly working now.  I realized that
the FreeBSD port installed a xymonserver.cfg that was VERY different
from the xymonserver.cfg.DIST file that the port installed.  I renamed
xymonserver.cfg (to make a backup) and copied xymonserver.cfg.DIST to
xymonserver.cfg.  One xymon restart later and it was mostly working.

I found that I needed to cp xymonmenu.cfg.DIST to xymonmenu.cfg and
hobbitpasswd to xymonpasswd, too.

Now I can't get the historical data line graphs to display.  I have a
suspicion that this is due to a dependency (like rrdtool or png) not
installing or updating correctly.

Yes, 4.3.4 wants rrdtool 1.4.5, or something like that. Ports didn't take care of that for you? I'm only running the server on Linux, haven't messed with it on FreeBSD, yet.
