Question on Xymon installation on Ubuntu with apache2
list John Boris
I am new to Xymon but have used Big Brother. My big issue is the web setup. I am doing this on a Ubuntu server with apache2. Apache2 has a new type of configuration file and it is very confusing where to put the xymon-apache.conf file info. I tried adding it to the default configuration file in the /etc/apach2/sites-available directory but it doesn't like the RewriteEngine lines which I am assuming I have this in the wrong place. Is there a document that shows the steps to getting Xymon to work on a Ubuntu server running apache2? Also is there a search utility for this mailing list? TIA -- John J. Boris, Sr.

By far, the easiest option is to install from a package. Generally this will automatically configure a working system for you, and all you will need to do is modify various config files. You may not be able to find the latest version already packaged, but I would still suggest to use a packaged version initially. Later, when you better understand how it works, you should be able to download the latest version, and update to that. Regards, Adam -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers www.websitemanagers.com.au

Hi, do you have rewrite module enabled? You can whether you have a symlink "rewrite.load" to "../mods-available/rewrite.load" in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ directory. Or running "a2query rewrite" if using apache2.4. Also it would be helpful if you provided Ubuntu and Apache versions. Is it apache 2.2 or 2.4?

Now I do. The dim bulb in my head came on while staring at the error message. Then had to figure out how to enable it. The old way would have been to uncomment it. Now it is a link.
