Hi,

I am kicking myself for not knowng this but I'll ask anyway.

Just completed an install of xymon on rhel3, no problems. I choose to use the el3 xymon rpm.

After it installed I tried to access the web page via http://localhost/xymon but I can only see the directories not the web page.

what am I not doing.

Successfull install ---> rpm -ivh xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm xymon-client-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm warning: xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 60d204a7 Preparing...

At this point, you should start xymon with:

service xymon start

or similar

web page for localhost/xymon --->

bb.html, index.html etc. are created by the bbgen task of xymon ... and those only run if hobbitlaunch is running, which is (ultimately) started by the /etc/init.d/xymon script.
