problems with Xymon SSL
list Leszek G Geba
Hi, I am trying to install Xymon version 4.3.10 on CentOS CentOS Linux 6.3 Linux 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64 on x86_64 there is a problem with SSL installation. I am running ./configure.server script When do it comes to SSL section it says: ..... Checking for OpenSSL ... Compiling with SSL library works OK Linking with SSL library works OK Checking if your SSL library has SSLv2 enabled Will support SSLv2 when testing SSL-enabled network services Xymon can use the OpenSSL library to test SSL-enabled services like https-encrypted websites, POP3S, IMAPS, NNTPS and TELNETS. If you have the OpenSSL library installed, I recommend that you enable this. Do you want to be able to test SSL-enabled services (y) ? y ... All installation process runs without problem, however after starting Xymon it cannot do any SSL based test. Like for example: Sat Nov 3 16:00:46 2012: Server timeout https://mail.bussq.com.au/ - Server timeout When I am checking /home/xymon/server/bin/xymonnet --version xymonnet version 4.3.10 LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20423 and no information about SSL, which means it is installed without SSL support. (is it correct?) OpenSSL package is installed and I can execute commands related to it. Can anyone point me out what I am doing wrong? Or what else I need to check? Thank you -- regards Leszek G Geba

Check the configure.log or similarly named file (haven't compiled anything recently so I'm blanking on the actual filename). I'm guessing it didn't actually find the SSL header or lib files. Make sure you have the openssl-devel RPM installed as you likely need that to compile against it. There are x86_64 and i386 versions of this. -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |user-ae4522577e16@xymon.invalid - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/EI-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark

Thank you Ryan, all good. I have managed to resolve even before your suggestion reached me (which I am proud of being linux novice). Exactly as you suggested I have tried to install openssl development tools library and it helped. But only when I installed i386 version of it. It does not mean that x86_64 are bad and will not work with xymon. It just means that I have found solution to my problem using i386 libs. also, I have learnt in a hard way that remembering "make clean" helps a lot :-) (I forgot about it at some stage and had to repeat process) I also used ./configure.server options --ssllib --sslinclude to specify exact paths. Thank you again for such quick response regards Leszek
