[Xymon] 404 Not Found URL/xymon was not found on this server

12 Dec 2013

      Good morning guys,
I made a change to xymon-apache.conf, all I did was remove the trailing "/":
From:
Alias /xymon/  "/home/xymon/server/www/"
<Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews

Require all granted
</Directory>
To:
Alias /xymon  "/home/xymon/server/www"
<Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews

Require all granted
</Directory>
After the restart, I do see something different:
At the http://ipaddress/xymon
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /xymon on this server.

Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat) Server at 10.82.10.54 Port 80
In the error_log in /var/httpd:
[Thu Dec 12 07:54:26 2013] [error] [client 10.44.35.35] (13)Permission denied: access to /xymon denied
I went back to xymon_apache.conf and re-added the original allow parameter. This did it!
Alias /xymon  "/home/xymon/server/www"
<Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews

Order allow,deny

Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/home/xymon/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/home/xymon/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None

Options ExecCGI Includes

Order allow,deny

Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/home/xymon/cgi-secure/"
<Directory "/home/xymon/cgi-secure">
AllowOverride None

Options ExecCGI Includes

Order allow,deny

Allow from all
I now can bring up the page... hooray!  Time to continue playing.
Thanks everyone!

You can also rewrite the existing Alias line to drop the final slash too. eg:
-Alias @XYMONHOSTURL@/  "@INSTALLWWWDIR@/"
+Alias @XYMONHOSTURL@  "@INSTALLWWWDIR@"
For me, that's:
Alias /xymon  "/var/www/xymon"
The RPMs have done that for a while... haven't heard of any issues so far.

To Josh's point, it requires the trailing slash.  If you want to

ensure that it always redirects to /xymon/, just add a rewrite rule to

apache's httpd.conf...it may even work in the xymon.conf file:

We just had this one.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
You see that xymon is listening on 0.0.0.0:1984
...
...
&lt;http://0.0.0.0:1984>. You need to change you XYMONSERVERIP
...
...
environment in xymonserver.cfg to the IP address of the server.
...
...
Also set XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME to the hostname and XZYMSRV to the ip
...
...
address as well. Then restart xymon.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I'm assuming you did restart apache after you put the
...
...
xymon-apache.conf into /etc/httpd/conf.d, right?

Hi Everyone,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I'm very very new to XYMON, as a matter of fact, I just installed
...
...
it 15 minutes ago. I thought I was cruising along quite nicely
...
...
until I tested it. This is what I received:
...
...
...
...
*Not Found*
...
...
...
...
The requested URL /xymon was not found on this server.
...
...
...
...
...
...

...
...

...
...
...
...
/Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat) Server at 10.82.10.54 Port 80/
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Xymon is running, that I can confirm:
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
[xymon at lsypf01a ~]$ ./server/xymon.sh status
...
...
...
...
Xymon (xymonlaunch) running with PID 4826
...
...
...
...
[xymon at lsypf01a ~]$
...
...
