In case any one else goes through this I found the fix as follows for redhat 3 Rhel3
Looks like I got a crap rpm, do not download form the following url!!! *** http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel3/xymon/i386/ ***
Instead follow this.
Install the following from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rrdtool/
perl-rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el3.rf.i386.rpm rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el3.rf.i386.rpm rrdtool-devel-1.0.50-3.el3
Also install from dag: fping-2.4-1.b2.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm and pcre-devel-3.9-3.i386.rpm
I also installed perl-Time-HiRes-1.9712-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm but not sure if it is needed.
Finally I installed hobbit from: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-3/RE/hobbit-4.2.0-7.el3.re.i386.rpm
And it works.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.

Restart the processes and look at anything in the logs?
If it were me I would just compile it, leaving defaults. I've done it with every version of CentOS since 4.2 with issues.

index.html should be a softlink to bb.html
Why those files aren't there after an RPM install is beyond me, but my guess is a permissions issue at this point.
Do a namei -m /usr/lib/xymon/server/www

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... ########################################### [100%] Adding user xymon to group adm 1:xymon-client ########################################### [ 50%] 2:xymon ########################################### [100%]
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.
Regards, Buchan
