Forbidden : You don't have permission to access /xymon/index.html on this server.
Hi,
I install xymon collector server and agent in the same machine. Apache server is running in the same server.
Now I start collector server and agent both.
After that I am trying to open web page with:
http://19x.xxx.xxx.xxx/xymon/index.html
I am getting following error:
*Forbidden*
You don't have permission to access /xymon/index.html on this server.
*Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at 19x.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 80*
Kindly let me know how can I resolved this problem?
With Regards, Jayanta.

Make sure you have configured Apache with the configuration provided in the $XYMONHOME/etc/xymon-apache.conf, and done a reload of the Apache configuration.

Hi Henrik,
I already appended following:
*#cat /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbit-apache.conf >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf* After that I restart apache. Still i am facing following error.

Just put the whole file in the httpd/conf.d directory and then restart apache, its easier to update it in the future if you keep the file separate.

No, that's not what was stated.
You need the original httpd.conf file. It lives in /etc/httpd/conf Then you put the hobbit-apache.conf file, named as is, into /etc/httpd/conf.d. This is a directory for additional config files.
I still think your problem is file and directory ownership. Your web directory, which I'm going to guess is /home/hobbit/server/www is owned by the xymon or hobbit user. Next your web server is being run by apache, and apache has no permissions to get to /home/hobbit/server/www.
You need to do one of a couple of things. The best of which is to get apache and xymon users in the same group and have the web directory and it's files in that group. This is basic Unix admin stuff, not an issue with Xymon.

Yes that is what was meant, thanks for elaborating Paul.
Jayanta, have you tried just accessing a simple /index.html in your root web directory to make sure your apache user can access it? I normally use Redhat or Fedora and keep the default directory at /var/www/html for the web root and the file Xymon provided placed as Paul mentions sorts out allowing apache access to the subdirectories which in my case are installed under /usr/local which apache has read on.

Hi Craig,
How can I give read permission to apache user?
My “www” and “web” folder is present in the path “/home/xymon/server/www”
If find apache from root then following output I got:
/usr/sbin/apachectl
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# pwd
/usr/sbin
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# ls -lrt apachectl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3916 Jul 15 2009 apachectl
[root at RHEL5 sbin]#
Also Kindly let me know "how accessing a simple /index.html in my root web directory"

Offhand I'd say to put the apache user in the xymon group if you have such problems. But since a default Xymon install will normally have the permissions at 755 for folders and 644 for files in the Xymon www and cgi directories, the perms have apparently been mucked with on your system, perhaps the ownership as well. In a normal install, in my experience, apache would be able to read everything without any permission adjustments.
If find apache from root then following output I got:
/usr/sbin/apachectl
You mean, like "find / -name 'apache*'"? It's not clear how that would have any bearing on the discussion.
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# pwd
/usr/sbin
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# ls -lrt apachectl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3916 Jul 15 2009 apachectl
Yep, that's what it looks like on my systems, too. Your point?
You probably have your umask set more securely than the install program assumes. You can either use chmod to loosen up the permissions on the files and directories that Apache needs to read or use setfacl. You should also probably set umask in one of the login files for your xymon user, or Apache will likely not be able to read the files that Xymon creates.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Hi Craig,
How can I give read permission to apache user?
My “www” and “web” folder is present in the path “/home/xymon/server/www”
Offhand I'd say to put the apache user in the xymon group if you have such problems. But since a default Xymon install will normally have the permissions at 755 for folders and 644 for files in the Xymon www and cgi directories, the perms have apparently been mucked with on your system, perhaps the ownership as well. In a normal install, in my experience, apache would be able to read everything without any permission adjustments.
If find apache from root then following output I got:
/usr/sbin/apachectl
You mean, like "find / -name 'apache*'"? It's not clear how that would have any bearing on the discussion.
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# pwd
/usr/sbin
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# ls -lrt apachectl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3916 Jul 15 2009 apachectl
Yep, that's what it looks like on my systems, too. Your point?

I have just experienced the same issue, as I have installed xymon and BB on several occasions with no such issue before or adjusting any unix groups or permissions I was not totally convinced by some of the answers.
My install gave the error when building Xymon 4.3.7 onto a RH6 platform, which by default supplies Apache 2.2.15, if you look at the example apache conf file provided by Xymon it states that it is for Apache 1.3 - 2.0, solution that worked for me was install Apache 2.0.64 into /usr/local/ and use that instead (I also needed to remove the all BB redirects .
I am no Apache expert and will allow others to debate the why's I just needed it working and suspect that an increase in security which I do not know how to unconfigure/configure is responsible. Bottom line change Apache version
