I removed the linked file and copied the original to the directory and it starts up - THANKS!

I can now access a web page in the /var/www/html directory but I cannot access the xymon web pages.

index.html is 'helo' per the instructions and it and any other web page I place in /var/www/html works.

How do I access the Xymon system?

Is it the same as before? http://monitord.csw.l-3com.com/xymon

Or am I looking at the wrong URL?

Thanks,

Tom Schmitt

Apache can't read /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon-apache.conf, which appears to be a link to /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

Either: chown apache.apache /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

Or: chmod 644 /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

should fix it. You may also need to open up permissions for Apache to get into /home/xymon/server/etc.

I have tried to follow what instructions I can find for a new Xymon installation.

I have installed the latest 4.3.10 of Xymon on a Dell R-710 with CentOS 6.3 (install option - web server) installed.

When I try to start apache I get:

            [root at monitord ~]# service httpd restart

            Stopping httpd:

[FAILED]

            Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 222 of

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon-apache.conf: Permission denied

[FAILED]

LINE 222 is the Include line:

            #

            # Load config files from the config directory

"/etc/httpd/conf.d"

            #

            Include conf.d/*.conf



            #

If I comment out the 'Include' statement, Apache comes right up.

The files in /etc/httpd/conf.d are:

            manual.conf

            perl.conf

            php.conf

            README

            ssl.conf

            webalizer.conf

            welcome.conf

            wsgi.conf

            xymon-apache.conf ->

/home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf ( Permissions: lrwxrwxrwx. )

[root at monitord conf.d]# cat xymon-apache.conf

This file is for Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2.0.x

Add this to your Apache configuration, it makes

the Xymon webpages and cgi-scripts available in the

"/xymon" and "/xymon-cgi" URLs.

NB: The "Alias" line below must NOT be used if you have

the Xymon webfiles as the root URL. In that case,

you should instead set this:

DocumentRoot /home/xymon/server/www

Alias /xymon/ "/home/xymon/server/www/"

<Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/home/xymon/cgi-secure/"

# Password file where users with access to these scripts are kept.

# Create it with "htpasswd -c /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd

# Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd

#

# You can also use a group file to restrict admin access to members

# group, instead of anyone who is logged in. In that case you must

setup

# the "xymongroups" file, and change the "Require" settings to

require

# a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.
