Did you input the correct User/Group for the web user when you configured/installed Xymon?

Thank you very much.

I tried like http://192.168.1.50/xymon/ But /var/log/httpd/error_log said:

[Fri Jan 29 15:55:22 2010] [error] [client 192.168.71.55] (13)Permission denied: access to /xymon/ denied

Thank you.

Two arguing things in your email:

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

[Fri Jan 29 15:01:20 2010] [error] [client 192.168.71.55] File does not exist: /var/www/html/xymon

I think your trying http://192.168.1.50/xymon

you should be trying http://192.168.1.50/xymon/

Dear All,

I installed xymon on my redhat linux. The installation is successful, but the web access failed.

Here is information:

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 </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

# Password file where users with access to these scripts are kept.
# Create it with "htpasswd -c /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitpasswd

USERNAME" # Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitpasswd USERNAME" # # You can also use a group file to restrict admin access to members of a # group, instead of anyone who is logged in. In that case you must setup # the "hobbitgroups" file, and change the "Require" settings to require # a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.

AuthUserFile /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgroups
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Xymon Administration"

# "valid-user" restricts access to anyone who is logged in.
Require valid-user

# "group admins" restricts access to users who have logged in, AND
# are members of the "admins" group in hobbitgroups.
# Require group admins

</Directory>

And,

the httpd log shows:

Thanks a lot, Best, Ming
