I have just downloaded, compiled and installed the latest xymon on my
Sun T2000 but the web page doesn't work.  There is no index.html or
any other plain file in the /export/home/xymon/server/www/ directory,
should there be?

From /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
  Alias http://www.blahblah.com/xymon/  "/export/home/xymon/server/www/"

They are generated when xymongen runs, once it has some data. Should 
show up a few minutes after you start Xymon.

This bit me once also.

It might be a FAQ, but perhaps it would be helpful to have "make install"
and package post-install scripts create initial files (if none exist), that
say "Data coming soon..." or similar.  I see no down-side to this.

This is a standalone machine, both server and client I guess.  Is
there a different set-up required for that?

Hi Nick !

Ehh I am sorry I don't understand your question but yes it is a standalone machine.  Virtual machine  running on HPVM a64hpIntegrityBL860ci2 hardware.
The server  environment is: HP-UX B.11.31  ia64 2 CPU's and 5 GB memory assigned.

Xymon 4.3.7 server and also client running (obviously) currently.
This was compiled on in the machine's environment and apart from an error that was specific for HP-UX and fixed using the method below.
#ERRORS compiling xymon =< 4.3.7

Otherwize all worked OK and installed beautifully.

But when I tried the newer versions xymon 4.3.8 and xymon 4.3.10
They both configured and compiled OK but when installed they did not run ... as I mentioned in the start of this post.

You said the webpage doesn't work, not that the actual Xymon processes are
not starting.

Have you looked in the Xymon log files to work out why Xymon isn't starting
up?

Hi,

Could it simply be the same problem I had? (4.3.10 on Solaris 10 x86)
My "make install" didn't set all the permissions right, had to do a lot of chmod and chown for it to start.
I had a very strict umask  so a lot of files/dirs ended up in rwx --- --- and some bins and dirs with owner root so no one other than root could do anything.
Watch out for chown -R as it will change user on some web files Apache2 needs to own.

Have you looked in the Xymon log files to work out why Xymon isn't starting up?

Hi,

Could it simply be the same problem I had? (4.3.10 on Solaris 10 x86) My "make install" didn't set all the permissions right, had to do a lot of chmod and chown for it to start.
I had a very strict umask  so a lot of files/dirs ended up in rwx --- --- and some bins and dirs with owner root so no one other than root could do anything.
Watch out for chown -R as it will change user on some web files Apache2 needs to own.

The “Cannot open directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.d” message is that that directory doesn’t exist.

If you created that directory, you could put files in it to start tasks, instead of adding those tasks to the /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg file.  It’s just like the  /etc /httpd/conf.d directory or /etc/xinetd.d directory.

I think the other email may be on the right track about permissions being wrong.

Hi,

Could it simply be the same problem I had? (4.3.10 on Solaris 10 x86) My "make install" didn't set all the permissions right, had to do a lot of chmod and chown for it to start.
I had a very strict umask  so a lot of files/dirs ended up in rwx --- --- and some bins and dirs with owner root so no one other than root could do anything.
Watch out for chown -R as it will change user on some web files Apache2 needs to own.

You said the webpage doesn't work, not that the actual Xymon processes are not starting.

Have you looked in the Xymon log files to work out why Xymon isn't starting up?

Otherwize all worked OK and installed beautifully.

But when I tried the newer versions xymon 4.3.8 and xymon 4.3.10 They both configured and compiled OK but when installed they did not run ... as I mentioned in the start of this post.

They are generated when xymongen runs, once it has some data. Should 
show up a few minutes after you start Xymon.

It might be a FAQ, but perhaps it would be helpful to have "make install"

Hi there !

Thanks for yor replys I checked the umask and permissions after doing a gmake install
There was some binarys that were owned by root but the umask was OK so the xymon user had permission to execute them anyway …
So that was not the problem …
I am still struggling …
Question what does this mean ?? :
2012-08-16 12:26:49 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-16 12:26:50 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-16 12:26:57 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-16 12:26:58 Peer not up, flushing message queue

I get this in:
alert.log
clientdata.log
history.log
hostdata.log
rrd-status.log


And this ?
root at hpivm006:/var/log/xymon # cat xymongen.log
2012-08-16 12:28:06 Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)

The “Cannot open directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.d” message is that that directory doesn’t exist.

If you created that directory, you could put files in it to start tasks, instead of adding those tasks to the /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg file.  It’s just like the  /etc /httpd/conf.d directory or /etc/xinetd.d directory.

I think the other email may be on the right track about permissions being wrong.
