Thank you. I stopped and started xymon a dozen times. But, thanks to you telling me that the files were supposed to be there, I started poking through the logs to see who did what. Turns out a small single line message complained that ³ld.so.1: xymongen: fatal: libpcre.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory². I added /usr/local/lib to the libraries DB and boom things started up.

Thank you for the pointer.

Hi Charles... Welcome.

Once you start up Xymon for the first time, it will generate all the web files you're looking for.

So, check out /home/xymon/server. There should be a file called "xymon.sh". This starts up the server and begins the process of collecting data and creating those files. You can run it (as the Xymon user) by doing this:

[xymon]$ ./xymon.sh start

It'll whirr for a second (depending on box beefiness) and then give you the prompt back. Wait about 5 minutes, and go look at your webroot then... It will contain the index.html you're looking for (and a whole lot more!)

OK. I've installed v4.3.0 into /home/xymon. It seems to have installed successfully on Solaris 10 or at least no major errors. The URL for getting into xymon http://svrnam/xymon which points to /home/xymon/server/www. This directory has: gifs/ help/ html/ menu/ notes/ phpinfo.php rep/ snap/ wml/ subdirectories under it. What script/executable/file is supposed to run upon entry by the browser? Shouldn't there be a index.html or similar in there to start things off?

Thanks for the reply. Someone else pointed this out to me as well. Turns out that there was a problem with pcre libraries not being found in the common directories. This precluded any files being created. I thought I had a problem with apache configuration. This all was not evident to me until searching through the copious logs and found a single line entry about the error. Once I added pcre to the library database it has all started up fine.

Thanks again.

The xymond process creates the index.html file.  When you run xymond for the first time, the index.html doesn't exist, but after it runs through its tests it will create it for you.
